Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the atherogenic index of plasma, non-HDL cholesterol, and other cardiac indices as potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease in individuals with type II diabetes. Materials and Methods: A total of 280 individuals of both sex groups were included for this investigation. A total of 280 people participated in this research, with 140 being diagnosed with diabetes and the other 140 serving as healthy non-diabetic controls. Results: There was a substantial increase seen in the mean values of weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure among diabetes patients when compared to the control group. The study observed a substantial rise in the mean values of FBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, LDL-cholesterol, Non HDL-cholesterol, CRR, AC, and AIP in diabetic patients as compared to persons without diabetes. Conclusion: In the context of Diabetes, there is a disruption in the metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins, which may lead to the occurrence of atherogenic dyslipidemia. This dyslipidemia is recognised as a prevalent risk factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The marker of cardiovascular risk in diabetes is mostly low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
