  ABSTRACT: Aim: We compared the waist circumferences (WC) of 1214 diabetics with various parameters in real-life conditions. Patients and Method: The study was carried out by reviewing the anthropometric measurements and biochemical analyzes of diabetics and they were analyzed due to WC status of the patients. Results: Mean total cholesterol level was 204.6 ± 47.1 mg/dL in patients with normal WC and 211.6 ± 45.6 mg/dL in patients with increased WC (p = 0.015). Total cholesterol was found to be a risk factor for WC enlargement (OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.001 - 1.006, p = 0.015). HDL-cholesterol appeared to be a risk factor for the increase in WC (OR: 1.005, CI: 1.001 - 1.010, p = 0.029). Median triglyceride level was 158 (41 - 975) mg/dL in the normal WC group, while it was 176 (22 - 1379) mg/dL in the patients with increased WC (p Conclusion: We have demonstrated that the measurement of WC has an important role in diabetes management and is related with inflammatory parameters such as uric acid and GGT.
