Background: The prevalence of diabetes is rapidly rising all over the world. India is not an exception. Alteration of serum lipids & complications is significant in diabetics which lead to micro and macrovascular diseases. Aims & Objective: To know the lipid profile pattern in diabetic patients.To identify high risk group so that they can be treated early for preventing complications. Method: Total 200 OPD & indoor diabetic patients visiting at Sir Takhtsinhji General Hospital, Bhavnagar from June 2014 to May 2015 were selected using certain criteria. Results:Type I patients have onset of Diabetes at an early age with longer duration but they have normal lipid profile. Type 2 patients have onset of Diabetes at late age but they have elevated levels of Triglyceride, Cholesterol, LDL, VLDL with low HDL. Obesity is common in NIDDM.Females having higher lipid profile values than males. Uncontrolled Diabetic patients are more dyslipidemic. Interpretation & Conclusion: Type 1 diabetic patients have longer duration of disease. Type 2 diabetic patients having altered profile, having more risk for complications like atherosclerosis, Coronary Heart Disease etc. Control of Diabetes is necessary for controlling lipid profile & complications.
