Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with hyperglycemia whose incidence and prevalence has significantly increased in recent decades. Diabetes mellitus is responsible for micro vascular complications like retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy and cardio myopathy. In the present study the levels of cholesterol ,triglycerides ,glucose, troponin I, and CK MB are significantly elevated in T2DM with cardiovascular complications compared to T2DM.The LDL-C was significantly not altered in male patients but definitely elevated in femaleT2DM with vascular complications .Further hyperhomocysteinemia is noticed in T2DM with complications as compared to T2DM.Homocysteine is a neglected risk factor but is the major culprit for T2DM and cardiovascular disease .In Indian community there is elevated levels of homocysteine an independent major predictor of T2DM and CAD.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
