<![CDATA[Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress, imbalance between reactive oxygenspecies production and antioxidant scavenging that may play a role in the etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitusand occurrence diabetic retinopathy as a result from increasing activity of free radicals and accumulation oflipid peroxidation products.Aim: To investigate the association between glycemic control, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status.Methodology: A descriptive cross - sectional study on non- probability was conducted (sample collection)of (232) type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Plain tubes, the tools and instruments that were used to collectdata.Results: The results of the study revealed that dyslipidemia and hypertension were found to be moreprevalent in the diabetic retinopathy subjects than the regular diabetic subjects. Plasma antioxidant levelswere higher in the diabetic subjects than the diabetic retinopathy subjects while malondialdehyde levelswere found to be higher in the diabetic retinopathy subjects.Conclusion: Duration of diabetes has very important effect on both MDA and uric acid levels for diabeticpatients with/without retinopathy. Oxidative parameters value not influence by residence as well as bodymass index not has any effect on uric acid level.]]>
