Background: This study correlates between Serum Ferritin & Type II Diabetes patients enrolled 100 patients of type 2 DM and 100 healthy individual who are attended OPD for routine health checkup. Method: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College and Maharaja Yashwant Rao Hospital, Indore, from April 2015 to Sept 2016. We enrolled 100 patients of type 2 DM and 100 healthy individual who are attended OPD for routine health checkup. All patients or their relatives provided valid informed written consent for participation. Result: Max. No. of control FBS level in range between 91-100 mg/dl 32 control FBS level in 80-90mg/dl,21% FBS level in between101-110 mg/dl. The max no. of cases 72% was serum ferritin level is >204 ng/ml. In cases mean level of serum ferritin level is 277±130 ng/ml. 12% cases having in high normal level. Conclusion: In conclusion our study shows that there is significant correlation between increased serum ferritin in type II diabetes compared to individuals with normal blood sugars. Hyperferritinemia may be one of the causes for development of insulin resistance before overt diabetes from a causal perspective; there are at least two possible interpretations of our findings. Elevated iron stores, reflected in elevated plasma ferritin levels, may increase baseline glucose levels and induce other metabolic abnormalities that ultimately result in diabetes.
