The relationship between serum lipids, apolipoprotein levels including apolipoprotein (a) to albumin excretion rate (AER) in 52 (17 male, 35 female) type 2 diabetic patients was studied. Patients were classified in groups as follows: (1) patients with normal AER ( 300 mg/24 h). Apolipoprotein B levels were significantly (p
