Study of serum lipid profile in type-2 diabetic patients of north Karnataka

 

 

Abstract              Background: Lipid profile in type – DM will be great challenge to medical fraternity globally. Because in type-II DM there will be impairment of viscosity of blood flow moreover elevation of lipids will create more vascular complications like retinopathy, Nephropathy IHD, MI etc. Method: 100 known DM patients (61 Males, 39 females) aged between 35 to 70 years were studied. HbA₁C and lipid profile of every patients were studied. Results: 75% Diabetic retinopathy (23 Males, 28 Female) 40% Nephropathy (23 Males, 17 Females). The Distribution of HbA₁c in both sexes was <50 in 1% 5.1-7.0 in 29% 7.1-9.0 in 63%, 9.1 in 7%, was noted. The mean 63%, 9.1 in 7% was noted. The Mean value of lipid profile was TC – 196.9±48.1 LDL 122.7 ± 49.3, TG – 160.9±56.2 HDL 39.6±10.5 VLDL 32.2±11.2 The correlative coefficient values of lipid profile with retinopathy and Nephropathy were highly significant (p<0.01) moreover comparison of mean values of lipid profile with Retinopathy Nephropathy were also highly significant (p<0.01). Conclusion: This study of serum lipid in type-2 DM will be quite useful to endocrinologist, physician, ophthalmologist, cardiologist to treat such patients efficiently because out 10 people 3 are sufferings with DM in India and abroad.
