The current study was aimed to estimate the levels of some physiological and biochemical parameters in women with T2DM and insulin resistance. 150 women with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance were reported to have insulin resistance at Azadi Teaching Hospital and Republican Hospital from September 2023 to January 2024. Laboratory tests were performed in private laboratories in Kirkuk, Iraq. The volunteers in the current study were divided as follows: 50 healthy women without any diseases as a control group. 75 patients with type 2 diabetes as a second group. 75 women with insulin resistance as a third group. The results showed that the fasting plasma glucose was shown significantly higher (P<0.05) in T2DM group and T2DM with IR group compared with non-obese; fasting serum insulin was significantly increased in T2DM group and T2DM with IR group compared with non-obese. HOMA-IR test value was significantly increased (P<0.05) in T2DM group and T2DM with IR group compared with non-obese). Vitamin D3 concentrations showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the serum of type 2 diabetic patients and insulin resistance group compared to the control group. On the other hand, vitamin B12 concentrations showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the serum of type 2 diabetic patients and insulin resistance group compared to the control group. Folic acid concentration also showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the type 2 diabetic group and the insulin resistance group compared to the control group. It is concluded that the type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance were associated with vitamins deficiency in patients.
