Abstract
Objectives: Serum lipid profile viz the level of total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol
and LDL-cholesterol of type2 diabetic patients have been studied and compares them with levels of control
subjects. Results: The mean value of the TG level for male diabetics was higher than that for the female
diabetics and the mean values of TC, HDL-C and LDL-C were not found significantly different between
male and female diabetics. Hyperlipidemia has a documented causative relation with CAD, but the major
risk associated with diabetes may be due to the associated hyperlipidemia. The study revealed that dyslipidemia
is very common in type2 diabetics and the most common abnormality observed was increased serum
triglyceride levels (58%). The next common abnormality was decreased serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C) levels and increased serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. A high
total serum cholesterol levels was found in 41% patients. 39% of the patients examined were overweight,
and 7% were overtly obese. Conclusion: Thus, the study clearly shows the relationship between type2 diabetes
and hyperlipidemia, which may influence the mechanism by which type2 diabetes is associated with
increased CAD risk.
