Objective: To find out the correlation of blood glucose with serum triglycerides and serum cholesterol levels in patients having T2DM.
Material and methods: This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted from August to October 2019 in the medical
out-patient department of Khyber teaching hospital Peshawar, which is a 1600 bedded tertiary care hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province of Pakistan. Patients with T2DM were categorized into two groups. Group A with HbA1c from 6.5-8%
and group B with HbA1c of more than 8%. Fasting serum cholesterol and fasting serum triglycerides were correlated in
these groups with the level of HbA1c. The data so collected, was analyzed through statistical package for social sciences,
SPSS version 23, chi-square test was applied to find out the relationship between the 2 groups and p-value of 0.05 or less
was considered significant for correlation.
Results: Amongst 319 patients with T2DM, 220 (68.96%) were females and the rest of 99 (31.04%) were males. Serum
cholesterol was raised in 106 (33.22%) patients with T2DM. It was raised in 35.16% of patients in group A and in 32.45% in
group B (p-value of 0.6). Serum triglycerides level was raised in 22.25% of patients with T2DM (with 23.07% in group A and
in 21.92% of patients in group B) with a p-value of 0.8.
Conclusions: The levels of fasting serum cholesterol and fasting serum triglycerides were not having any significant correlation with the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (and hence diabetic control) in our patients having Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
