Aim: The aim of the study to assessment of glycated haemoglobin, total protein and albumin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This case control study was done the Department of Pathology. A total of 120 subjects comprising of 60 diabetic subjects and 60 controls aged between 35 and 70 years were recruited for the study. 5mls of blood sample was collected from each patient and 1ml was dispensed into EDTA for the estimation of glycated haemoglobin, and 4ml was dispensed into plain containers for estimation of serum albumin and total protein levels. Determination of glycated haemoglobin level, estimation of serum albumin level and estimation of total protein done by standard methods. Results: The mean level of HbA1c was significantly higher in the diabetic subjects when compared with control group (11.56±1.79Vs 7.21±0.98; p=0.001). There was no significant differences observed between the age, the serum levels of Albumin and Total protein in the test and control subjects (p>0.05). Conclusion: we concluded that the present study showed significantly higher mean levels of HbA1c in the diabetic patients compared with the control subjects.
