Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation. In elderly individuals, the disease poses heightened risks due to age-related physiological changes and increased susceptibility to complications. This review explores the roles of serum bilirubin and C-Reactive protein (CRP) as biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, respectively, in elderly T2DM patients. It emphasizes their potential utility in disease monitoring, predicting complications, and guiding therapeutic interventions.
