LEVEL OF ANTIOXIDANTS AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN DIABETES MELLITUS

Objectives: The main objective of our study is to find the role of antioxidants and measure the level of oxidative stress and their role in diabetic patients. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted at Mayo Hospital, Lahore during June 2019 to November 2019.
