Correlation of HbA1c Levels and Hypertriglyceridemia in Prediabetes: Assessment of Future Diabetic Risk
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The adverse consequences of hyperglycemia have been reported to occur at much lower glucose level than what is currently defined as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Hypertriglyceridemia is quite prevalent in T2DM. Objectives: The study aimed to correlate the level of HbA1c with Triglyceride levels and assess their role in assessment of future diabetic risk. Materials and Methods: The biochemical parameters of 60 Prediabetics were compared with 60 age and sex matched normoglycemic healthy controls (30-60 yrs). Fasting blood glucose, Hba1c and lipid profile were assessed as per standard laboratory methods. Prediabetes was defined according to American diabetic association (ADA 2011) criteria. 8 year Diabetic risk was assessed using Framingham risk score. Results: Triglyceride level was in borderline high range (150-199mg/dL) in Prediabetics. Positive Correlation (r= 0.435, p=0.000) was observed between HbA1c and TG levels. TG levels also showed positive correlation (r = 0.656, p =0.000) with 8 year Diabetic risk. Regression equations for Prediabetics were also calculated. Conclusion: The study recognized the preponderance of Borderline hypertriglyceridemia in Prediabetics and its positive correlation with 8-year Diabetic risk.
