    Background: Dyslipidemia a common feature of diabetes mellitus leads to cardiovascular complications. These complications are not detected early enough due to absence of cheap and routine biomarker. Aim: Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the cardiovascular risk indices of diabetes mellitus individuals using Atherogenic coefficient (Ac), Cardiac Risk Ratio (CRR), Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and Non- HDL – cholesterol (surrogate marker for apolipoprotein B) in this locality. Methods: Serum Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C), Very Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (VLDL-C) as well as cardiovascular risk indices (Cardiac Risk Ratio (CRR), atherogenic coefficient (Ac), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP..
