Autonomic nervous system function tests were performed according Ewing battery in all subjects. The percentage of brachial artery diameter dilatation (FMD%) after reactive hyperemia was found to decrease significantly (P < 0.0002)in the diabetic patients while intima-media thickness of carotid artery was found to increase significantly (P > 0.0002) in diabetic patients. Plasma fasting blood sugar was increased significantly (P < 0.0002) while plasma high-density lipoprotein was found to decrease significantly (P < 0.004) in diabetic patients.
