BACKGROUND Dyslipidaemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. It has been seen in many trails and studies that good glycaemic control has prevented the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The rationale of this study was to detect the lipid abnormality in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional observational study was conducted to estimate prevalence of dyslipidaemia among diabetic patients of KIMS, Hubli. A total of 100 patients were included out of which 62 were males and 38 females. RESULTS There was a positive correlation between PPBS and dyslipidaemia with p value=0.01. However, when correlation between dyslipidaemia and duration of diabetes was compared, it was not significant with p value of 0.64. CVS status, elevated urea and elevated creatinine were not significant when compared to dyslipidaemia. Parameter correlated between capillary and venous estimate showed that the total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and HDL were highly significant with p value <0.001. CONCLUSION Our study showed that there is increased incidence of dyslipidaemia in diabetes patients. Hence, constant monitoring of lipid profile is required in diabetes patients to reduce the risk of CVS diseases.
