Objective: To assess the pulmonary function test in cases of type-II diabetics and its association with glycemic status. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Pulmonology, Lahore General Hospital, Lahore from January 2019 to June 2019 over the period of 6 months. Total 100 patients of type-II diabetes mellitus both male and female having age 30-60 years were selected. Pattern of pulmonary function was assessed. Results: Total 100 patients of type-II diabetes mellitus were selected and pulmonary function test assessed. Mean age of the patients was 49.3±7.74 years. Out of 100 diabetics, pulmonary function test was found normal in 32 (32%) patients followed by restrictive in 50 (50%) patients and obstructive in 18 (18%) patients. Among the 24 (24%) patients, glycemic status was controlled and normal pulmonary function test was found normal in 14 (58.33%) patients, restrictive in 7 (29.17%) patients and obstructive in 3 (12.5%) patients. Out of 76 (76%) patients with un-controlled glycaemia, pulmonary function test was found normal, restrictive and obstructive in 18 (23.68%) patients, 43 (56.58%) patients and 15 (19.74%) patients respectively. Statistically significant (P = 0.006) association of pulmonary function test with glycemic status was found. Conclusion: Results of present study showed that most of the diabetics found with restrictive pattern. Most of the diabetics were male but no association between pulmonary function test and gender was noted. Obese diabetics were significantly associated with pulmonary function test and restrictive pattern was most common obese diabetics. Statistically significant association of pulmonary function test with glycemic status was observed. Key words: Diabetes mellitus, restrictive, obstructive, pulmonary
