Popis:	Various metabolic and clinical disorders are associated with diabetes mellitus, the most prominent being vascular disease. There may be a relationship between diabetes and reduced lung function, so this study was designed to evaluate the impairment of lung function on spirometry among diabetic patients. The study included 50 type II diabetic patients and 50 healthy persons, confirmed by normal blood glucose levels, as control group. There was a significant reduction in spirometric pulmonary function tests (FEV1 and FVC) of a restrictive pattern in type 2 diabetic patients compared to control subjects. Since the diabetes affects the pulmonary vasculature and the connective tissue, therefore it can cause reduction in the pulmonary function tests. So, it is recommended that simple tests like spirometry may be performed in patients of type II diabetes as early as possible or be used as a preventive measure.
