Introduction- Incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increased quite rapidly from last decade. It was thought previously that obesity is one of the major predisposing risk factor and complications of diabetes would be more common and fatal in obese persons with diabetes, but it has been shown in more recent studies that some of the factors and peculiarities are much more common in patients with lean body mass.
Material and methods- This study was done in a tertiary care centre of western Uttar Pradesh over 240 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus that were divided into three categories in equal proportion considering their body mass index (lean , non obese and obese ). Some of the factors like urine microscopy, fasting and post prandial glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid profile and kidney functions were studied to find out the difference in level of above mentioned factors in these groups.
Results- Fasting blood glucose, post prandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin level, and triglyceride level came to be signinifiacntly higher in lean body mass group as compared to other two groups. As far as renal status is concerned there was no significant variation in different groups of diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion- Present study showed that lean body weight type of type 2 diabetes mellitus are definitely different subset of population of type 2 diabetes mellitus with clinical characteristics different from other subtype i.e. non obese and obese in this region of country.
