BACKGROUND
The pattern of dyslipidaemia varies among the patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the present study is to find lipid abnormalities in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, which is the important factor causing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in 100 patients attending the OPD of Department of Medicine at Jhalawar Medical College Hospital, Jhalawar (Rajasthan) from July 2015 to Dec 2015. Random sampling (Allocation) method was used and data assessed in a prospective manner. Fasting Blood Sugar, Postprandial Blood Sugar (FBS, PPBS), Lipid profile, Triglyceride (TG), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Total Cholesterol (TC), were measured. Statistical analysis were performed.
RESULTS
A total number of 100 patients type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (52 males and 48 females) attending OPD were recruited in this study. TG levels were (195.92±5.42 and 184.31±7.86) in male and female respectively with significant difference between the genders (P<0.0001). Total cholesterol in male and female (164.25±3.15 and 183.45±4.22), respectively. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) in male and female was (98.66±2.36 and 113.68±2.56), respectively. High-Density Lipoprotein was in male and female (38.28±4.7) and (39.35±2.57), respectively.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, dyslipidaemia were observed in a greater proportion in both genders more in female type 2 diabetes mellitus patients than male type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
