Type 2-diabetes is frequently reported comorbidity in elderly female patients with knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the role of various blood biochemical parameters in cases of knee osteoarthritis among type 2 diabetic postmenopausal women.

Osteoarthritis of knee was ascertained using the American college of rheumatology classification criteria. Results: The mean levels of fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, total cholesterol, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C were also found significantly   increased   while HDL-C   was   found  significantly decreased in cases as compared to controls. Conclusions: We concluded that there is a positive correlation with increased levels of HbA1c and FBS (p˂0.001) in diabetic postmenopausal women and knee osteoarthritis.en_US
