Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder principally characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and by microvascular and macrovascular complications that considerably increase the morbidity and mortality related to the disease. The present study was conducted to assess cardiovascular risk factors in diabetes patients. Materials & Methods: 140 type II Diabetes mellitus patients of both genders were subjected to assessment of glycated hemoglobin, fasting and random blood glucose. Lipid profile was also performed. Assessment of risk factors were done. Results: Out of 140 patients, males were 80 and females were 60. Risk factors were hyperinsulinemia in 24, obesity in18, dyslipidemia in 30, hypertension in 56, hyperalbunimia in 28, smoking in 34 and alcoholism in 52. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Common cardiovascular risk factors in diabetes patients was hyperinsulinemia, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperalbunimia, smoking and alcoholism. Key words: Diabetes, Hyperinsulinemia, Obesity
