Description :
Hyperlipidemia is a known complication of uncontrolled diabetes. The combination of Hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and Central Obesity are the hall marks of diabetic dyslipidemia which occurs in 80% of type II diabetics.The present study assessed central obesity and dyslipidemia in Type 2 Diabetics. 100 Type 2 Diabetics Male-48, Female-52 were selected from Sunil’s Diabetes Care n’ Research Centre, Nagpur. Central obesity, Glycemic and Lipid profile was assessed by standard techniques. Data was compiled and statistically analyzed by students t test of significance.Mean age of males was 52.81+9.18 yrs and females 56.7+11.3yrs.Highly significant difference (p=0.0001) was observed between mean waist circumference of males (98.35+8.80 cms) and females (85.1+12.65 cms).81% of the male and 77% of female subjects were above normal waist circumference standards. Mean WHR in male (0.97+0.04) and females (0.87+0.08) indicated android obesity. Mean FBG of males (134+37.87 mg/dl) and females (139+87) differed insignificantly (p=0.68). Insignificant difference (p=0.86) was also observedin PPBG of males (203.59+77.15mg/dl) and females (199.45+80.57mg/dl). Hypertriglyceridemia was observed in 31% males and 27% females. 23% males and 25% of females had high LDL-C. 48% male and 54% female had low HDL-C. High WC, WHR, Triglycerides, low HDL-C were prominently observed in Type 2 Diabetics.
