Abstract:
Participants were 79 patients with type 2 diabetes, included 25 men and 54 women. Mean age of male patients was 62+/-9 years and of female patients was 65.7+/-9.2 years (mean 64.6+/-9.3 for whole group). Controls were 95 age-matched individuals without diabetes. The type II diabetic incidence increases with age and higher in 50 years of age group. Among patients with type II diabetes, 61.2% of the patients developed disorders in one or more blood lipid parameters. Type of hyperlipidemia in type 2 diabetics is mixed. Dyslipidemia would be more serious if it combined with hypertension. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL cholesterol and blood triglycerid correlated insignificantly with blood HbA1c and glucose levels.
