dc.description.abstract	Total Homocysteine (tHcy) levels are found to be significantly raised in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. In Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major macrovascular complications. The present study was conducted on a Goan population with an objective to evaluate the relation between the plasma tHcy in diabetic individuals with and without CVD. The one year cross sectional study comprised of 180 subjects, including 60 NIDDM individuals, 60 NIDDM individuals with CVD and 60 healthy controls. Plasma concentrations of tHcy levels were measured by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in all study subjects. The data obtained was statistically analysed using student unpaired‘t’ test and comparison between the groups was done by analysis of variance. The tHcy levels were found to be significantly elevated in NIDDM and also in NIDDM with CVD in Goan Population	en_US
