Lipid Profile and Glycated Haemoglobin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Padmavathi Parthasarathy, Dr. Brindha, Dr. Sathiya Priya

Abstract :

Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia results to impaired lipid metabolism which leads tocardiovascular disease. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) used as a marker for long – term glycemic control. Aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between HbA1c and lipid profile in type 2 diabetics, also to determinethe ability of HbA1c as an indirect indicator of dyslipidaemia.

Methods:Cross sectional study conducted on confirmed type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=55). From Jan to April 2016. We measured HbA1c, Fasting Blood Sugar, and Lipid profile.

Results:The HbA1c showed significant differencebetween males (7.68�1.37) and females (7.23�0.80).In male HbA1c showed positive correlation with FBS, and negative correlation with HDL.Whereas in female HbA1c showed positive correlation with FBS, TG and VLDL which are statistically significant

Conclusion:Glycemic control has impact on the lipid profile levels. Our study also added value of HbA1c as an indirect indicator of dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetics.
