الملخص

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) explains that "the fundamental cause of overweight and obesity is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended" and defines overweight and obesity as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health."

Aim of study: The study aims to determine the connection between diabetes and certain biochemical indicators in order to evaluate the metabolic characteristics of the adult population with diabetes.

Methods: A convenient sample of 123 individuals who have diabetes type 2 was examined by an internal consultant and the Specialized Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology (SCDE) at Al-Diwaniya Teaching Hospital as the elements for this observational cross-sectional study. A number of questions were collected during interviews and evaluated by a variety of experts; the questionnaire was designed by the researcher. The information was gathered between September 1st and the last of January. 

Conclusion: This study observed that obese females suffering from diabetes were more likely than males. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between body mass index (BMI) and triglyceride (TG). The middle-aged patients with diabetes had a higher impact from obesity and overweight than older people.
