Abstract

Background: Dyslipidaemia due to insulin resistance, the major cause of coronary atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease is frequently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an emerging pandemic with the number of patients increasing rapidly in both developed and developing countries around the world.

Methods: This study was carried out in the  Department of Medicine, AIIMS, Udaipur. 80 males of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Enrolled patients will be investigated for HbA1C and lipid profile. Results: In the present study, dyslipidaemia was found to be present in 85% patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Of these, 24% had single abnormal lipid parameter while 72% had combined dyslipidaemia.. ConclusionsPrevalence of dyslipidaemia was alarmingly high in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Thus, HbA1C can be considered as a marker of dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
