Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the metabolic syndromes prevalent worldwide, with more concentration in the Asian region. Many studies have been conducted in order to understand the complex pathogenesis of this disease. Yet, there exists a lacuna in our knowledge about DM. This study aims at establishing the reason for glycemic variation in menstruating Type-2 diabetic women by estimation of C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker that exhibits significant association with changes in blood glucose levels.
