Introduction:

DCCT has established HbA1C as the gold standard for glycemic control.Early management of dyslipidemia and improvement of glycemic control are helpful in reducing incidence of CVD among T2DM patients.

Aim: To evaluate the association between HbA1c and lipid parameters

Methods: Among 100 subjects,50 healthy control and 50 type 2 diabetic mellitus patients included. Fasting blood sample was collected for estimation of lipid profile and HbA1c

Results:

Total cholesterol, triglyceride and very low densitylipoprotein were observed significantly higher in diabetic subject compared to healthy subject.Glycated haemoglobin showed significant positive correlation with total cholesterol triglycerides LDL and fasting blood in diabetic subject

Conclusion

HbA1c can be utilized for screening high–risk diabetic patients for timely intervention with lipid loweringdrugs.
