Comparison between Venous Blood Glucose Levels(Fasting, Impaired Glucose Tolerance) and changes in Electrocardiography, Echocardiography were done.Patients with pre-diagnosed cardiac disease, pancreatic disease, chronic kidney disease, thyroid disorders, dyslipidaemia, obese persons and pregnant women were excluded from the study.
