Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbances in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Dyslipidaemia in diabetes commonly manifests as raised low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels or elevated triglyceride (TG) levels. Many studies have proposed HbA1c to be used as a biomarker of both glycaemic control and dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Study aimed to observe the lipid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to find out the correlation between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), FBS and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Material and methods: This is a case control study conducted at Index Medical College, Indore, M.P, after taking ethical clearance from the college ethical committee. 150 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 150 healthy controls were taken after obtaining written and informed consent from them. HbA1c, Fbs and Lipid profile were done in cases and controls using appropriate tests. The data was analysed with SPSS. 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 patients (38.83±14.98) and controls (51.62±13.20)
