Abstract :

Type 2 diabetes mellitus has a profound impact on individuals and society, with its devastating complications taking a huge toll in terms of morbidity and mortality. Compared with non diabetic individuals, patients with type 2 diabetes have a two to four fold higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and dyslipidemia is an important contributor to the increased risk n this. In this study out of 50 cases 60% of them were dyslipidemic . Majority of them had a diabetic dyslipidemia pattern followed by combined dyslipidemia, isolated hypertriglyceridemia , other pattern characterised by elevated levels of LDL with decreased HDL levels and isolated lower HDL level. Prevalence of dyslipidemia was more in males however prevalence of and mean TG, LDL, TC,TC/LDL levels more in females. Duration of diabetes mellitus had positive correlation with dyslipidemia
