To Study the Correlation Between HbA1c and Serum LDL Level in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 DM Patients

Background: Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is considered as a gold-standard measure of chronic glycemia in diabetic patients. HbA1c is a main indicator for mean blood glucose level. Dyslipidemia especially high LDL is common in diabetes mellitus and is strongly associated with poor glycemic control. Method: A study was carried out to determine the LDL levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics in Jhalawar Rajasthan population. A total of 80 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics were enrolled in our study. Result: In our study, maximum patients (53.75%) were from 46-60 years followed by 25% patients who were more than 60 years, and 21.25% patients were less than 45 years of age. HbA1c is significantly directly proportional to LDL level Conclusion: It was concluded from the results of this study that type 2 diabetic patients are more prone to dyslipidemia. In newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, high LDL levels were found in patients with high HbA1C levels.
