Abstract

Background

Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities, contributing to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)1. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the indicator of glycemic status over long term. This study is an attempt to evaluate the diagnostic value of HbA1c in predicting diabetic dislipidemia. Method: Venous blood was collected from 100 type 2 diabetic patients age 35–75 years, 50 males and 50 females attending the Diabetic OPD, Civil hospital Gulbarga were enrolled in the study. Investigations like fasting and post prandial blood sugar, HbA1c and lipid profile (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL & VLDL). Both males and females patients with worse glycemic control (HbA1c > 9%) had significantly high cholesterol and LDL levels. Result: HbA1c showed direct and significant correlation with cholesterol, triglicerides and LDL cholesterol, and reverse correlation with HDL cholesterol..
