: Various studies have shown that diabetic dyslipidemia is common in females than in males. High body mass index is also responsible for dyslipidemia. We tried to see if there was any influence of sex on diabetic dyslipidemia in BMI matched diabetic males and females. 49 type 2 diabetic patients(22 males and 27 females) were taken in the study. BMI, FBS ,HbA1c and lipid profile were measured. The mean age ±SD of males and females was 64.5±3.2 years and 58.3 ±2.6 years respectively. The BMI of males and females (24.62±3.47 vs 24.13±3.14) was also not statistically significant. The mean value of HbA1c was more in females (7.71±0.89 vs 7.69±1.87) but not statistically significant. Fasting blood glucose is more in males (140.9±46.24) than females(130.37±27.89) but again not statistically significant. In females the mean values of total cholesterol ( 229.14 ±29.97 vs 225.13±26.9)and LDL(148.66±16.26 vs 144.31±18.32)is more than males but not significant. The mean value of HDL(40.76±4.09 vs 49.36±5.02 )and triglycerides( 153.8±36.44 vs 157.3±24.99)was low in female than in male with no statistical significance. Hence gender does not play a significant role in diabetic dyslipidemia.
