Dyslipidemia and diabetics: A relation that’s not too sweet
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: In type 2 diabetes mellitus, lipid abnormalities are almost the rule and is associated with a cluster of interrelated plasma lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities that are all recognized as major risk factors for coronary artery disease and other macro vascular complications. Present study aimed to assess the lipid profile in type 2 diabetic individuals in comparison with non-diabetic individuals. Materials and methods: An observational study was conducted at outpatient and Inpatient department in BLDEU’S Shri. B.M. Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre. The sample size was 250 of which 125 were type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who were studied as cases and 125 non diabetics were taken as controls and there lipid profile were estimated and the results obtained were statistically computed. Results: In the present study the results obtained were in cases (type 2 diabetes mellitus) values were as follows – LDL 117.99 ± 49.28, TC 196.77 ± 73.6, TG 186.05 ± 128.32, HDL 38.72 ± 12.5, VLDL 34.06 ± 19.65. These values were much higher as compared to controls (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient’s lipid profile is significantly altered as compared to non-diabetic patients and hence regular monitoring of lipid profiles in such patients is warranted.
