DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2;

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the pattern dyslipidimia in patients of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. StudyDesign: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration: This study was carried out in General Medicine department of Peoples MedicalUniversity & Hospital Nawabshah and Civil Hospital Karachi, from June 2011 to July 2012. Methodology: This study consisted of seventypatients. Detailed history was taken from all the patients with special regard to increased thirst and frequent urination, increased hunger,weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing sores or frequent infections and an areas of darkened skin. Inclusion criteria were that allpatients after counseling for study and taking written consent were included in this study >35 years of age with either sex admitted ingeneral medicine ward through outpatient department and diagnosed as case of DM type 2 on the basis of history , clinical examinationand investigations. Exclusion criteria included patients on dialysis, patients on lipid lowering agents, patients with acute complication ofdiabetes mellitus such as diabetic keto-acidosis, patients suffering from hypothyroidism, nephritic syndrome, type 1 DM and HTN, lacticacidosisand hypoglycemia. Results were prepared with the help of tables and graphs. Data was analyzed through SPSS software.Results: Out of 70 patients included in this study 46 were men (65.8%) and 24 patients were female (34.2%); with male to female ratio of1.9:1. There was wide variation of age ranging from a minimum of 35 year to 75 year. The mean age was 48.65+7.8 years. Mean totalserum cholesterol was 196.04 ± 44.02mg/dl, mean serum triglycerides was 193.04 ± 108.64 mg/dl , mean high density lipoprotein29.28 ± 8.48mg/dl, mean low density lipoprotein 125.24 ± 39.68mg/dl and mean very low density lipoprotein was 31.28 ± 8.48 mg/dl.Total cholesterol was abnormal (>200mg/dl) in 56(80%) patients out of 70[ 21(87.5%) were females and 35 (76.1%) were males],Triglycerides was abnormal (>150mg/dl) in 62(88.5%) patients [ 22 (91.66 %) were females and 40 (86.95%) were males], high densitylipoprotein was abnormal (< 35 mg/dl) in 51(72.8%) patients[ 18(75%) were females and 33(71.73%) were males], LDL was abnormal(>130 mg/dl) in 40(57.1%) patients [ 17 (70.83%) were females and 23(50%) were males] and VLDL was abnormal (> 30 mg/dl) in47(67.14%) patients [19(79.16%) were females and 28(60.86%) were males]. Conclusions: We conclude that dyslipidemia is commonamong type 2 diabetic patients. Males are more prone to suffer from this complication. Patterns of dyslipidemia found more commonlywere decreased HDL levels, increased LDL and Triglycerides levels. There is a need for early detection and treatment of this problem toprevent type 2 diabetic complications .

ABSTRACT Aims: Previous studies have shown that diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases in females to a greater extent than in males. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the lipid profiles of type 2 diabetic males and females. Materials and Methods: The study included 107 type 2 diabetic patients (41 males and 66 females), and 122 hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients (39 males and 83 females), aged 15 years and older. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations were assayed for each group using standard biochemical methods. Results: The mean TC, TG, VLDL-C, HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations, TG/HDL and LDL/HDL ratios were higher in type 2 diabetic and hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic, and hypertensive non-diabetic control subjects, although these were not significant (P > 0.05). Hypertensive type 2 diabetic females had significantly higher serum TC (7.42 ± 1.63 mmol/L) than hypertensive non-diabetic males (5.76±1.57 mmol/L; P < 0.05). All the other lipid and lipoprotein parameters except HDL-C were non-significantly higher in females with type 2 DM and those with hypertension and type 2 DM, compared with type 2 diabetic and hypertensive type 2 diabetic males, respectively (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that dyslipidemia exists in our type 2 diabetic population with greater TC in hypertensive type 2 diabetic females compared with hypertensive type 2 diabetic males. This suggests that hypertensive type 2 diabetic females are exposed more profoundly to risk factors including atherogenic dyslipidemia compared with males.

Increased Risk

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome consisting of metabolic, vascular and neuropathic components that are interrelated. Diabetes mellitus is associated with a considerably increased risk of premature atherosclerosis, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) and peripheral arterial disease. Dyslipidemia is a common feature of diabetes. There is an association between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Methods: The study was done on 50 adult diabetes mellitus (T2) patients from IPD of General Medicine wards at SMS Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. 50 healthy age and sex matched healthy volunteers were taken as control. They were evaluated for lipid profile i.e., Total Cholesterol (TC),Triglyceride (TG), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), High density lipoprotein (HDL), Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and glycemic status i.e., Fasting blood glucose (FBS), Postprandial 2 hours blood glucose (PP2BS) & Glycosylated haemoglobin(HbA1C).Results: Diabetic cases had statistically highly significant (p<0.001) elevated levels of total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and VLDL as compared to controls. Serum TG, serum TC, LDL-C and VLDL-C had positive correlation with the postprandial plasma glucose, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c.Conclusions: Significant correlations between HbA1c levels and lipid levels point towards the usefulness of HbA1c for screening high-risk diabetic patients. High TC, TG, LDL-C and HbA1c with normal or low HDL-C is seen in almost all diabetic patients either alone or in combinations.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL ), triglycerides , apolipoprotein A (apo A) and B100 (apo B100), uric acid, glycaemic and insulin plasmatic concentrations in patients affected by acute stroke. In this group of patients, we have compared the variables between type 2 diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients. METHOD: We evaluate a total of 34 non-diabetic patients (22 males and 12 females; mean age 66.71 ± 10.83 years) and a group of 26 type 2 diabetic patients (15 males and 11 females; mean age 66.35 ± 9.92 years) in a cross-sectional study. RESULTS: Mean Lp(a) concentration did not significantly differ between type 2 diabetic patients and non-diabetic subjects (29.49 ± 23.09 vs 44.81 ± 44.34 mg/dl). The distribution of Lp(a)levels was highly skewed towards the higher levels in both groups, being over 30 mg/dl in 50%. Lp(a) concentration was positively correlated with abdominal adiposity, using waist-hip ratio(WHR)(p< 0.05). No association was found between Lp(a) and others risk factors like sex, age, other lipidic parameters and the presence of stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that there were no significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients' serum Lp(a) levels, which indicates that elevated Lp(a) levels were associated with ischemic stroke, irrespective of the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM).
