Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) poses a substantial global public health with arisen burden in growing future also various comorbidities linked to .Therefore, many parameters related to the glycemic state have been measured to facilitate it’s diagnosis. Recent studies have revealed a significant correlation among blood sugar levels and ferritin, CRP levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of the research was to examine the relationship between Ferritin levels and C reactive protein on HbA1c in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participation in the study was extended to a total of fifty those who were diagnosed with having type 2 diabetes. Following a time of fasting that lasted for an entire night, a sample of venous blood that was ten milliliters in volume was obtained for the purpose of conducting an analysis of biochemical profile. The information was transferred to SPSS version 23 for Windows so that the analysis could be carried out. Although it was shown that the levels of HbA1c showed a positive association with C-reactive protein, the high p-value of Ferritin precluded the discovery of any correlation between the two variables.
