Lipid Profile in Diabetic Patients

Diabetes and Lipid Profile.UserDiabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and disruptions in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism caused by abnormalities in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Type 2 diabetes impacted approximately 462 million people in 2017, accounting for 6.28 % (4.4 % of those aged 15-49 years, 15 % of those aged 50-69 years, and 22 % of those aged 70+), or a prevalence rate of 6059 cases per 100,000. Diabetes will most certainly be the primary cause of illness and mortality as its prevalence rises throughout the world. Diabetes-related chronic hyperglycemia is linked to long-term damage, dysfunction, and disturbance in the functioning of multiple organs, most notably the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Due to atherogenic irregularities and dyslipidemia, patients with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Diabetes dyslipidemia often presents as elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or higher triglyceride (TG) levels. HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) is a commonly used measure for long-term glycemic management.
