There is assumption that ABO blood group system is linked to specic molecules related to the type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Blood grouping was done for all using the slide method and conrmed by tube method. Data obtained was statistically analyzed and chi square test was applied to nd out if there is any association between ABO and Rh blood group system and diabetes mellitus type 2.

The association between ABO blood group and diabetes mellitus was not signicant as p value was more than 0.05. 96% were Rh positive among the diabetics and the association of Rh system and diabetes mellitus was also not signicant statistically.
