Abstract

It is an important question in the field of Diabetology and is still an unanswered question. There are no directional studies made out in this direction. Separate approach for IDDM and NIDDM is the need of the hour. Using the blood sugar values of different times and also the other biochemical parameters a possible predictive formula can be created was worked out in 1986 by me. Triglycerides are more related to macro vascular disease and obese to macro vascular and lean to micro vascular complications.
