Abstract: Diabetes affects many organs of the body, present with microvascular pathologies. lungs of diabetic shows thickening of alveolar epithelial and pulmonary capillary basal lamina leading to reduced pulmonary elastic recoil and lung volume. Pulmonary function tests are employed to access the functional capacity of lungs. Present study shows spirometric changes in patients with diabetes mellitus

Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, forced vital capacity FVC, forced expiratory volume in one second FEV 1, FEV1/FVC FEV1 Expressed as a Percentage of the FVC, spirometry
