A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY ON LIPID PROFILE IN CASES OF TYPE-II DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract: Objective: To assess the lipid profile in cases of type-II diabetes mellitus at THQ Hospital. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at THQ Hospital, Yazman from January 2019 to June 2019 over the period of 6 months. Total 100 randomly selected patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending to the outpatient department or admitted in the Department of General Medicine, between 40-80 years of age irrespective of duration of diabetes were included in the study and lipid profile was assessed. Results: During our study we randomly selected 100 Diabetes mellitus patients visiting OPD or admitted in the department of Medicine at our institution. Out of 100 DM patients, 56 were Males and 44 were Females. The Mean age of patients in our study was 54.9 + 7.6 years. Mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 5.13 +4.5 years. Mean HbA1C was 9.03 +2.1. Mean FBS was 169.6 + 54.7 mg/dl and mean PPBS was 278.9 + 91.3 mg/dl. Conclusions: Present study highlights the magnitude of dyslipidaemia in type2 DM patients and that there is a significant association of DN with lipid parameters. Hence patients should be managed with life style modifications with or without lipid lowering agents to achieve target lipid values along with adequate glycemic control to prevent or delay the appearance and progression of DN.
