Hypertriglyceridemia in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus
Keywords:
Type II diabetes, Lipids, Triglycerides, Hypertriglyceridemia, Uncontrolled diabetesAbstract
Objective:To determine the frequency of type II diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia.
Materials and Methods:This was a cross sectional study carried out at medical unit, PAF Hospital Mushaf, Sarghoda from
19th January 2013 to 18th July 2013. A total of 200 patients of either gender having age >30 years with type II diabetes either
controlled or uncontrolled for at least 5 years were enrolled in the study. Patients on anti-hyperlipidemic drug, with history of
ischemic heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism and type I diabetes mellitus were excluded from the study.
Results: Mean (±SD) age of enrolled participants was 53.25 (±7.5) years. 86 (43%) were males and 114 (57%) were females.
Mean (±SD) fasting blood sugar level was 135 (±23.04) mg/dl and random blood sugar was 205.62 (±31.87) mg/dl. Mean
(±SD) duration of diabetes was 6.69 (±1.87) years. Out of 200 patients of type II diabetes, 102 (51%) had hypertriglyceridemia
out of which majority (63.7%) of patients had uncontrolled diabetes.
Conclusions:The frequency of type II diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia is found to be 51% with majority having
uncontrolled diabetes.
