CORRELATION OF HB1AC WITH LIPID PROFILE IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED TYPE 2 DM PATIENTS

Background: HbA1c is a main indicator for mean blood glucose level. Dyslipidemia especially high LDL, is common in diabetes mellitus and is strongly associated with poor glycemic control. Method: A retrospective study was carried out to determine the LDL levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics. A total of 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics were enrolled in our study. Result: In our study, maximum patients (54.00%) were from 46-60 years followed by, 25.00% patients who were more than 60 years and 21.00% patients were less than 45 years of age. HbA1c is significantly directly proportional to LDL level Conclusion: It was concluded from the results of this study that type 2 diabetic patients are more prone to dyslipidemia. In newly diagnosed type type 2 diabetes mellitus, high LDL levels were found in patients with high HbA1C levels.  Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, HbA1c, LDL
