LIPID PROFILE PATTERNIN TYPE-2 DIABETICS FROM CENTRAL INDIA Sunil Gupta , Anjali Kapse, Diabetes Care Center, Nagpur.
OBJECT: To study the fasting lipid profile pattern in type 2 diabetics and co-relate it with dietary habits, Waist hip ratio(W.H.R.) Body mass index (BMI), Hypertension(HT), Coronary artery disease (CAD) and pattern of hyperglycemia. Material: 257 diabetic males and females, both between 30 to 65 yrs . of ages were studied. Observation:-
Abbreviation: TC-Total cholesterol TG-triglyceride LDL-C-Low density lipoprotein cholesterol COMB.DY-combined dyslipidemia(LDL>130&TG>200).
More than 30% of diabetics had dyslipidemia.
Hypercholesterolemia and raised LDL-C were as frequent as
hypetriglyceridemia. 11-12% of patients had combined dyslipidemia.
Patients with FBG>140mg% were found to have a higher incidence of
dyslipidemia as compared to patient with FBS<140mg%. Higher BMI and WHR
were associated with raised TC, LDL-C, TG and combined dyslipidemia in
males. Females with higher WHR had increased TC and LDL-C. Higher BMI did
not show such relationship in females. WHR seems to be a better marker of
dyslipidemia than BMI.
56.1% of males and 58.1% of females were not consuming
ghee. Amongst females with dyslipidemia , significantly higher TC, LDL-C &
comb.dys was observed in those consuming ghee (mean 8.2gm/day). No such
correlation was seen in males. HDL-C was found to be normal in both
groups (41mg%+/-7.9 in male and 43.7mg%+/-9.8 in females). 27.4% of males
and 21.5% of females had CAD in the study group. Dietary fat intake was
not higher than recommended in them. Incidence of dyslipidemia was found to
be higher in CAD than in HT group.
CONCLUSION: Incidence of
dyslipidemia in DM and DM with CAD is >30% in both sexes from Central India,
despite having normal unsaturated fat and low saturated fat intake.
Hyperglycemia increases the incidence of dyslipidemia. This requires
further study to look for other causes of atherosclerosis. |
