AbstractIntroduction: The pathogenesis of diabetic disorders are unknown and may be multifactorial. One of the most important mechanisms of complications is glycosilation of proteins such as haemoglobin. Structurally, Vitamin C is similar to glucose and can act as glucose in many chemical reactions, therefore it may prevent non- enzymatic glycosilation of proteins such as haemoglobin and lipoproteins. Previous studies showed that vitamin C supplementation could improve dyslipidemia. Because of the availability and safety of vitamin C supplementation this study was decided to find out the effect of vitamin C on serum lipid profiles in type II diabetics.en
