Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Diabetes is an important public health problem and leading cause of cardiovascular problems its early detection and good glycemic control can reduce the complications associated with the disease. Objective: This was a prospective study planned to evaluate the relationship of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile in type II diabetic Punjabi male population. Material and methods: A total of 200 diabetes type II patient ranging from age group of 30 to 70 years were included in the study after taking a preinformed written consent. The glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) & lipid profile were performed on fully automated analyzers. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS statistics and correlation among HbA1c and lipid profile of type II Diabetic patients was established. Results: The mean HbA1c was in the range of 7.54 ± 1.24%. There were 61% subjects with high total cholesterol (TC) levels and 96% were with raised LDL levels. The 68% of the subjects were having lower HDL level. HbA1c demonstrated significant positive relationship with total cholesterol, TC (r=0.995), triglyceride, TG (r=0.997), high density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C (r=-0.940) and with low density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C (r=0.993). Conclusion: The study concluded that HbA1c apart from acting as important diagnostic marker for glycemic control can also be used as a positive predictor of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetics
