Introduction

Type 2 diabetes mellitus  (DM)  has  got  a  distinct  association  with coronary  artery  disease  (CAD) . Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. It may be accompanied by other biochemical disturbances and the presence of progressive diabetic tissue damage with micro and macrovascular complications.

Aims and Objectives

• To assess correlation between HbA1c levels in Type 2 diabetics and a positive Tread Mill Test
