Backgroud- Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by increase blood glucose level resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.
Methods-This is a cross sectional case control study. 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 50 age and sex matched healthy controls were taken after obtaining written and informed consent from them. HbA1c and Lipid profile were done in cases and controls using appropriate tests. The data was analyzed with SPSS version 22.0. The mean, SD, independent t test and correlation (Pearson‘s) test were used to interpret the results.
Results- There was highly significant difference in mean HDL in diabetic and control patients (p<0.001). There was highly significant difference in mean FBS, HbA1c and Triglycerides in diabetic and control patients (p<0.001).
Conclusion-Early screening of diabetic patients for dyslipidemia and early intervention is required to minimize the risk of future cardiovascular mortality.
