Abstract :

To know the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia among newly detected Type–2 diabetes in Coimbatore. Three twenty newly detected type–2 diabetes of age 25 years to 45 years were selected for the study. Selected anthropometric, biochemical and clinical profile was analyzed. It was found that 30.6% had borderline high TGL, 6.8% had high TGL and 4% had very high TGL. After 3 months triglyceride and HbA1c was analyzed for the borderline high triglyceridemic diabetics for the sub–samples. It was found that 95% of their triglycerides turned to normal. At the same time HbA1c was reduce by 08% to 2.6% for the selected diabetics. It was found that glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was positively and significantly related with triglycerides (r= 1 and p<0.00001). Although high triglycerides do not cause diabetes, uncontrolled diabetes can elevate triglyceride levels.
