ABSTRACT
Aim: The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the correlation of serum lipid profile and hypertension in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis done among the patients who has visited tertiary hospital medicine out patient department. Patients records was used to extract data after getting consent from the individual patient. Details and purpose of the study was thoroughly explained to all individuals before enrolment.
Result:It was observed that diabetic patients were having more systolic and diastolic pressure as compare to non-diabetic subjects. Intergroup differences between diabetic and non-diabetic group in systolic blood pressure is statistically significant (p<0.001). It has been observed that total cholesterol (212.3±42.1 vs 185.5±40.4, p=0.042), triglycerides (162.4±53.8 vs 111.2±44.7, p= 0.001), HDL (42.6±4.7 vs 46.8±5.9, p=0.251), LDL (141.2±28.5 vs 117.4±22.8, p=0.231) and VLDL (1.625 vs 22.3±8.5, p=0.003). 37% patients were having triglyceride more than 150 mg/dl where as 62% patients were having cholesterol more than 200 mg/dl among population who were diabetic.
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes patients were having elevated blood pressure and serum lipid levels as compare to non-diabetic patients which warned the importance of meticulous management of these two conditions to decrease risk for cardiovascular diseases in patients with diabetes.
