Abstract:
Background: The association between Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and dyslipidemia has a long history of developing, but the latter has become one of the key factors of the development of cardiovascular-related illness. Therefore, early detection of lipid abnormalities in patients who were just diagnosed with the T2DM is crucial to the effective minimization of health risks.
Objective: This research aimed to determine the frequency and specific features of dyslipidemia in a cohort of newly-identified T2DM patients.
Methods: Cross-sectional and observational study was carried out on newly diagnosed the T2DM subjects aged 30 to 65 years in a specialized medical facility. The respondents were tested in terms of fasting blood sugar (FBS), post-meal glucose (PPBS), HbA1c and the complete lipid profile. The 2018 AHA Guidelines were used to define dyslipidemia. The data processing involved use of t-tests and correlation coefficients of Pearson.
Results: Higher prevalence of dyslipidemia was observed with study group, with mean triglyceride concentrations being significantly higher in diabetic men (217.7 mg/dL) than with diabetic women (187.3 mg/dL). The group identified as dyslipidemic was characterized by notably increased mean levels of HbA1c (7.86 ± 2.1), FBS (153.0 ± 33.4 mg/dL), and PPBS (261.4 ± 60.4). It was found that HbA1c was strongly positively correlated with FBS (p < 0.001), whereas moderate value of correlation was observed between FBS and total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and between PPBS and triglycerides (r = 0.664).
Conclusion: The incidence of dyslipidemia is extremely high even at the first stage of the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and it is closely linked with hypertrophic control over blood sugar levels. It is strongly recommended that regular lipid screening should be part and parcel of the initial clinical examination on all patients with diabetes with the view of reducing the risk of developing heart related complications in the future.
