Association between glycaemic control and serum lipids profile in type 2 diabetic patients: HbA1c predicts dyslipidaemia

Abstract: Impaired lipid metabolism resulting from uncontrolled hyperglycaemia has been implicated in cardiovascular complications in diabetes patients. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of glycaemic control on the lipid profile of diabetic patients. We also determined the ability of glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) as an indirect marker of dyslipidaemia. A total of 1011 type 2 diabetic patients (males, 574; females, 437; mean age, 59.76 years) were included in this study. Venous blood samples were collected… Show more

“…[6] Results of our study shows that the level of LDL, TC & TG were significantly higher in Type 2 diabetics, which is in accordance with the study conducted by Wexler et al [7] Diabetic patients with elevated HbA1c and altered Lipid profile can be considered as a very high risk group for severe complications. Improving glycemic control can substantially reduce the risk in diabetic patients.…”

“…These findings were consistent with results obtained by Khan [11] and Khan et al [12] These findings suggest that HbA 1c can provide valuable supplementary information about the extent of circulating lipids besides its primary role in monitoring long-term glycemic control. Increase in TG and decline in HDL with HbA 1c rise shows the impact of glycemic control on lipoprotein levels and that hyperlipidemia of diabetic patients may be correctable by improving blood sugar.…”

“…Our findings in this study are concomitant with Khan et al who also reported a direct correlation between FBS and HbA1c with TC, TG and LDL-C and inverse correlation with HDL-C. 18 Mahato et al also observed significant correlations between HbA1c with TC, LDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. 19 Ramona et al reported direct and significant correlation between HbA1c with TC, TG and LDL-C, and reverse correlation with HDL-C. 20 In our study, correlation of HbA1c with the lipid profile was even more compared to FBS and PPBS.…”
