Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Serum levels of GP73, FAM3A, ASGR1, and GPHB5 measured by ELISA in Healthy, Prediabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus groups.

Correlation of serum GP73, FAM3A, ASGR1, and GPHB5 with key glycemic parameters (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose).

 
There will be a single assessment at baseline (at the time of enrollment) 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Association of serum GP73, FAM3A, ASGR1, & GPHB5 with inflammatory markers (IL-1B, IL-10).

Comparison of biomarker levels (GP73, FAM3A, ASGR1, GPHB5) across demographic subgroups (age, sex, BMI). 
The assessment will be conducted only once at baseline.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This cross-sectional study will quantify serum GP73, GPHB5, FAM3A and ASGR1 at one baseline visit in adults classified as healthy controls, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and examine their relationships with glycaemic control (glycated haemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose), indices of insulin resistance and beta-cell function (HOMA IR and HOMA Beta), inflammatory markers (IL-1B, IL-10).  The study hypothesis is that GP73, GPHB5 and ASGR1 are higher in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes than in healthy controls and are positively associated with poorer glycaemic control, greater insulin resistance and higher inflammatory activity, whereas FAM3A is lower and inversely associated with these parameters.
