All the recently diagnosed patients (<1> Results: The mean age in study group was 48.9±11.78 years [30-75] years with a mean BMI of 24.3±3.28 kg/m. 22 patients [31.4%] were smokers; hypertension was seen in 13 patients [18.6%]; hypothyroidism in 4 patients [5.7%]; rheumatoid arthritis in 2 patients [2.9%] and epilepsy in 2 patients [2.9%]. Family history of diabetes was present in 29 patients [41.4%] and dyslipidemia in 12 patients [17.1%]. 31 patients [44.3%] had normal glycemic control with Hba1c of less than 7 while as 39 patients [55.7%] had poor glycemic control with Hba1c of greater than 7.
