Abstract:
Insulin independent diabetes is considered as a metabolic and vascular disease that causes vascular complications in which atherosclerosis rate was common. 70-75% of type II diabetic patients was dead due to complications of atherosclerosis such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and arteritis obliterans in lower limb. A study on 114 type 2 diabetic patients (female: 90) with ages of 62, without obesity and 40 persons without diabetes has shown that the rate of carotid atherosclerosis in type II diabetic patients was high, the ages of lesion occurring in type II diabetic patients less 10 years than this in persons without type 2 diabetes. In addition to, traditional risks such as ages, phase of disease, there was correlation between thickness of atherosclerosis plaque and blood fibrinogen as well as abdominal measurement
