Dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus: a hospital based study
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common all over the world. It is characterized by a constellation of metabolic risk factors in one individual. The root causes of the metabolic syndrome are overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic factors. The metabolic syndrome is closely associated with a generalized metabolic disorder called insulin resistance, in which tissue responsiveness to the normal action of insulin is impaired. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to insulin resistance; in these persons, acquired factors (excess body fat and physical inactivity) elicit insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. Aims and Objectives: To assess the Dyslipidemia in Diabetic patients using ATP-3 guidelines. Material and Method: In the present study two groups were formed (diabetic and control group). Lipid profile of all the selected patients was done and compared. Results: Borderline high to high Serum Cholesterol was found in 60 % diabetics’ patients. Borderline and high Serum Triglycerides were observed in 36% diabetic patients and in only 6% in control group. Only 16% diabetics had optimal LDL Cholesterol level. High HDL cholesterol was observed that 68% diabetic patients. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia and diabetes are strongly associated with each other.
