To study the lipid profile in young diabetes mellitus patients and to correlate them with their glycemic status & obesity. MATERIALS & METHODS: 65 young diabetic patients (of age 18-39 years) and 30 healthy controls of same age group who had attended to medicine & endocrinology departments of K.G.H, Visakhapatnam, were included in this study. RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS: Among 65 cases, 15 are Type1 DM & 50 cases are of Type 2 DM. In Type1 DM, 66.6% had poor glycemic status. Dyslipidemia was more in poorly controlled than well controlled (80% vs. 20% p<0.05). In Type 2 DM, 32 had poor glycemic control &18 had good control (64% vs. 36%). In Type2 DM, 13 out of 18 well controlled had dyslipidemia & all the 32 poorly controlled, had dyslipidemia (72%vs100%, p<0.05). In Type 2DM, 64% of patients had high W/H ratio. Dyslipidemia seen more in over weight and obese than non-obese (100% vs. 77.2%, p < 0.05) in Type 2 DM. Over all among 65 cases of DM, 54 had dyslipidemia & out of 30 controls 7 had dyslipidemia. This prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetics was statistically found to be significant (p<0.05). DISCUSSION: The present study suggests that dyslipidemia was more prevalent in diabetics when compared to non-diabetics. In both Type 1 & Type 2 DM, dyslipidemia was more prevalent in poorly controlled than well controlled patients. Dyslipidemia was more prevalent in obese than non-obese. Glycemic status and obesity are important determinants of dyslipidemia in diabetics. So good glycemic control, treatment of obesity reduces the incidence of dyslipidemia and its associated complications, particularly coronary artery diseases. 1

Pre-eclampsia is a relatively common complication of pregnancy. HELLP Syndrome (Haemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelet) is a pregnancy specific disorder, frequently associated with severe manifestation of Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia with significant morbidity and mortality for pregnant women and their children, but can also be diagnosed in the absence of these disorders. In the present study, the incidence of HELLP Syndrome is 15%. MMR is 11.11% due to DIC, Foetal Morbidity is 44.44%. HELLP Syndrome is more in primigravida, low socio economic groups and AST, ALT, Bilirubin are increased due to Liver Dysfunction.
