Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency and pattern of dyslipidemia and its association with other risk factors among Type-2 diabetics.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Diabetic Clinic of Shaikh Zayed Postgraduate Medical Institute Lahore from January-October 2023. Type-2 diabetics regardless of age were evaluated by fasting lipid profile and were further evaluated by BMI, HbA1c and smoking. Exclusion criteria was patients taking lipid lowering drugs and all other causes of secondary dyslipidemias other than diabetes. Data for normally distributed quantitative variables was presented by Mean±SD, and for skewed measures were presented by using median (IQR). Dyslipidemia was described for each trait by using frequency and percentages.
Results: A total of two hundred and twelve subjects were included in the study with the mean age of 53.4±9.1 years. About 96.6% patients were found to have different patterns of dyslipidemia that also showed positive association with smoking, uncontrolled HbA1c and obesity (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: There is very high prevalence of dyslipidemia among Type-2 diabetics especially those who are smokers, with poor glycemic control and overweight/obese. Early screening of patients for dyslipidemia with lifestyle modifications and treatment of dyslipidemia can reduce risk of CVD.
