Abstract
Abstract: Diabetes is the major non-communicable disease in the developing countries like India. Diabetes along with diabetic dyslipidemia is a major contributing factor to development of coronary artery disease during younger ages which has implications on the economy of the country. Hence is the requirement of intense monitoring, prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia in diabetic patients. Our study included 200 diabetic subjects who fitted into inclusion criteria. A detailed history, clinical examination, fasting and post prandial blood sugars and fasting lipid profile was performed in all the patients. Subjects were in the age group of 25 - 90 years, which included 57% males and 43% females. One or the other lipid abnormality was found in 179 (89.5%) subjects. Total cholesterol of >200mg/dl was found in 99 (49.5%) subjects, LDL-C of > 100mg/dl was found in 112 (56%) subjects, Triglycerides > 150mg/dl was present in 96(48%) subjects, HDL-C of < 40mg/dl was found in 110 (55%) subjects. High levels of LDLc and low levels of HDLc were of frequent occurrence. Keywords:Lipid profile, fasting blood sugars, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease
