Introduction: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular diseases. Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for coronary artery disease, a leading cause of mortality in patients with Diabetes mellitus. Dyslipidemia remains largely undiagnosed and under treated in high risk populations, such as patient with type- 2 diabetes. Aim: to study the association of post prandial hypertriglyceridemia and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Method: A total of 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the DR B.R. Ambedkar medical college and hospital, Bangalore between November 2015 to April 2017, who consented for the investigations were included for this study. Carotid intima media thickness was measured by ultrasonography in these patients. Results: The comparison of carotidintima media thickness among the three groups showed statistical significance in the groups NNvs NH( p value – 0.001)and NN vs HH (p value-<0.001). In this study, there is a significant correlation of CIMT with FTG and PPTG. Conclusion: The present study suggests that levels of both the fasting triglycerides and postprandial hypertriglycerides correlate well with Carotid intima media thickness
