ABSTRACT
Lipid abnormalities are common in diabetic patients. In this study, 71 per cent had hyperlipidemia. The incidence of combined hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia were 29.5, 25.8 and 15.5 per cent respectively. Females were found to have higher cholesterol levels than males. Cholesterol and triglycerides levels were correlated with BMI and GHb but showed no correlation with age and duration of diabetes. HDL-C showed no correlation with BMI, GHb, age or duration of diabetes.
