Study was aimed to assess index of central obesity (ICO) and glycemic control among type 2 diabetic patients. Glycemic control with respect to ICO in males ≥0.58 with HbA1c≥7.5% were observed 43.96 5 subjects followed by HbA1c≥ 6.5 –7.5% (22.41%) and HbA1c< 6.5% (7.55%) respectively. More subjects had poor glycemic control with ICO≥0.58. However ICO <0.58 in males had higher percentages of subjects (12.93%) in good glycemic control. Similar observation was not found in females subjects. In males 36.20% subjects had WC>102 cm with poor glycemic control and 4.31% subjects had <102 cm WC with poor glycemic control. In females 36.90% subjects showed WC 88 with HbA1c≥7.5% and 1.19% showed WC <88cm with HbA1c≥7.5%. Index of central obesity has a potential to be a better parameter of central obesity. In the present study we observed the relation between IOC and glycemic control and the difference between ICO and WC with glycemic control was not significant
