Diabetes mellitus (DM) is recognized as a serious global health problem and frequently associated with disabling and life-threatening complications related to some modifiable risk factors. One of the modifiable factors is dyslipidemia. Because detection and treatment of dyslipidemia is one means of reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, determination of serum lipid levels in people with diabetes is now considered a standard of care. Lipid profile and fasting blood sugar (FBS) of 108 diabetic subjects were assessed. Dyslipidaemia was defined using the national cholesterol education programme–adult treatment panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. BMI and waist circumferences were measured. The mean of the body mass index was 29.85 ± 6.32 kg/m2 with the males having 27. 23 ± 5.29 kg/m2 while the females had 30. 90 ± 6.43 kg/m2. The mean duration of DM was 57.80 .. View More»
