Risk Profile in Reference to Glycated Hemoglobin and Lipid Profile in Stroke Patient with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction: Diabetic mellitus (DM) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. we evaluated the level of HbA1C and lipid profile in type2 diabetes mellitus patient and found out the correlation between HbA1C and lipid profile parameters in stroke patients with type-2 DM. Methods: A cross sectional study was done among 50 patients of stroke with DM type-2 at a centre in North Karnataka. A detailed history and clinical examination with relevant investigations were done. The serum sample was used for the measurement of lipid profile and HbA1C level. Results: In this study of 50 patients, 30 (60 %) were male and 20 (40 %) were female. The mean age of the cases studied was 61.6�11.06 years. The mean HbA1C 8.46�1.26, the mean lipid value TC = 194.15�36.77, TG=157.94�49.73, HDL = 34.06�9.47, LDL=126.36�35.54 and VLDL=31.76�10.06. The present study showed a statistically significant positive correlation between serum HbA1C level and serum lipid levels (p
