1. The present study was conducted on impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus patients. 50 adult male and female age group between 45-60 years were studied in the Department of Pathology of Mumbadevi Homoeopathic Hospital and CMPH Medical College.
2. The aim of the study was to study plasma fibrinogen in impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus. 3. An attempt was also made to find correlation between fibrinogen levels and lipid profile.4. Mean plasma fibrinogen level in control was 0.58 gm/l and in impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus was 1.4 gm/l and 0.75 gm/l respectively. 5. This difference in fibrinogen level in cases (IGT and DM) and control is statistically significant. a fibrinogen level, which can increase coronary risk. Low fibrinogen level is associated with low coronary risk even when LDL is raised
