Out of 90(ninety) type-2 diabetics 45were males and 45 were females. The age of the both sexes was about between 40–60 years old. The various parameters like** systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic foot, hypercholesterolemia & lipid disorders, cardiovascular diseases like IHD were studied. In the systolic blood pressure study, hypertensives * 32(71%) were males, 30(66.6%) were females.while in diastolic hypertensives, 22(48.8%)were males, 18(40%) were females. In diabetic retinopathy 5(11.1%) were males, 6(13.3%) were females. In the diabetic foot, males were 4(8.8%) and females were 3(6.6%). The duration of diagnosis of type-2 diabetes varied from 7 to3 years. 12(26.6%) were males, 15(33.3%) were females-diagnosed 7 years back; 24(53.3%)were males, 22(48.8%)were females-diagnosed 5 years back, while 9(20%) were males, 8(17.7%) were females-diagnosed 3 years back. Increased level of cholesterol was observed: -31(68.8%) were males, 33(73.3%) were females. Increased triglyceride level was observed: -30(66.6%)were males, 35(77.7%) were females. Increased LDL level was 7(15.5%) in males, 8(17.7%) in female. Decreased HDL level was 15(33.3%) in males, 13(28.8%) in females. Increased albumin excretion was 4(8.8%)in females. and other CVD were 7(15.5%) in males, and 6(13.3%)in females.this study of risk factors in type diabetic will be helpful to physician, cardiologist and endocrinologist to avoid premature mortality of such patients because excess mortality was noted even in patients without hypertension and increased lipid profile(1).
