Study Effect of Type 2 Diabetes (NIDDM) on Lipid Profile

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from a defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Lipid disorders are one of the most important risk factors for the development of CVD, which may be .mainly related to diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity This study was conducted to determine the biochemical changes of lipid and protein levels in diabetic patients and to compare them with normal subjects. (60) samples for type 2 diabetes patients and (20) a samples of healthy people (the control group) during the period from December to January 2023 in the city of Baquba. The following analyzes were performed: glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipids, and high-density lipids were measured. The results of this study showed a significant increase in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, with significant differences compared to normal people. Also, the results showed a significant statistical increase in the values of both cholesterol and triglycerides, in diabetic patients compared to normal people. On the other hand, the results showed that there were no significant differences in the values of both low-density lipids and high-density lipids in diabetic patients compared to normal subjects. According to the results of this study, it indicates that lipid disorders are mainly associated with diabetes, which is characterized by an increase in the levels of both triglycerides and cholesterol.
