Abstract

High blood sugar occurs in diabetes mellitus when either the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This study aims to evaluate some biochemical variables in patients with type 2 diabetes and their relationship to exacerbating the disease condition. Seventy patients with diabetes mellitus and fifty healthy individuals were included as normal controls for this study. Blood analysis was carried out for all of them which include serum glucose, lipid profile, urea, creatinine and liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) levels. This study included the verification of some biochemical variables by measuring their levels in diabetics and healthy people. As the levels of all the variables under study increased in diabetics except for high-density lipoproteins, its level decreased compared to the results obtained for the same variables in healthy people.
