The present study investigates the role of inflammatory markers, including TNF-alpha and IL-6, and metabolic hormones such as adiponectin and leptin, in individuals with T2DM. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A total of 147 participants diagnosed with T2DM were included in the study. Clinical and biochemical parameters, including fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), adiponectin, leptin, TNF-alpha, and IL-6, were measured. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were performed to determine associations between inflammatory markers and metabolic dysregulation.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The mean age of participants was &lt;strong&gt;42.63 ± 6.38 &lt;/strong&gt;years, and the average BMI was &lt;strong&gt;28.38 ± 2.25 kg/m²&lt;/strong&gt;. FBS and HbA1C levels were &lt;strong&gt;175.72 ± 61.61 mg/dL&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;7.26 ± 0.94%,&lt;/strong&gt; respectively. The mean adiponectin and leptin levels were &lt;strong&gt;4.71 ± 1.75 μg/mL&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;20.58 ± 5.19 ng/mL&lt;/strong&gt;, respectively. TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels averaged &lt;strong&gt;132.00 ± 9.45 pg/mL&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;33.52 ± 14.55 pg/mL&lt;/strong&gt;, respectively. Correlation analysis indicated an inverse relationship between adiponectin and BMI, while leptin was positively correlated with BMI and insulin levels. Elevated TNFalpha and IL-6 levels were associated with increased HbA1C and fasting blood glucose. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study highlights the significant role of inflammatory markers in metabolic dysregulation among T2DM patients. Elevated TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels reinforce the link between chronic inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism. These findings underscore the need for anti-inflammatory strategies in diabetes management.&lt;/p&gt;
