Abstract

Among the two types of DM, T2DM is prevalent among pre and post-menopausal women. Such women encounter many complications like MetS, IR, obesity, hypertension and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Although hormone replacement is the treatment to restore oestrogen, such treatment has its limitations. This review article brings out the recent research findings during the last 10 years on the prevalence, treatment options, usefulness of biochemical indices and improvement observed based on laboratory diagnosis. The contents of this review article will help future researches to undertake biochemistry analytes based diagnostic criteria to improve the T2DM status in such patients.
