Summary
Serum cholesterol levels of 474 Libyan diabetics were determined. The mean levels of diabetic men and women were 236.04±3.16 and 248±2.85 mg/100 ml, respectively. A significant correlation was found between serum cholesterol levels and fasting blood glucose in short-term diabetics. A similar correlation was observed in these diabetics between serum cholesterol levels and total body weight. However, in long-term diabetics with disease for more than a year, no such correlations were present
