Background: Dyslipidemia is quite common in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.Keeping lipid and glycemic levels under tight control is crucial for preventing the micro-and macrovascular complications that can result from diabetes.Objectives: The study's main goal was to demonstrate the connection between triglyceride levels and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.By predicting the triglyceride status of type 2 diabetics, this may help identify patients who are more likely to experience cardiovascular events.One of the typical risk factors for coronary artery disease in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is hypertriglyceridemia.The majority of the complications linked to the disease can be avoided by carefully monitoring the blood glucose level, which can be used to predict lipid status. Materials and Methods:Data is collected at the Life Care Foundation in Dera Bassi Mohali, Punjab, regarding this cross-sectional study.In the life care laboratory, a sample of patients who were 18 years of age and older was gathered.Over the course of four months, 502 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who provided their consent were enrolled.Prism 9 software was used for the statistical analysis, and Chi-square and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to determine the relationship between triglyceride and HbA1c.Based on the cut-off, HbA1c was dichotomized into four groups.Chi-square was used to examine the relationship between high triglyceride levels and HbA1c with various cut-off values.To calculate the odds-ratio and its 95% confidence interval, the risk between high triglyceride levels and HbA1c groups was estimated.The p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all the tests applied for significance.Results: With a cut-off of seven, eight, nine, and 10, respectively, the association of high triglycerides was evaluated in four different groups of HbA1c.A significant association between high triglyceride levels and an HbA1c cut-off value of 7% was seen in 74% of patients, and the odds ratio was 2.038 (95% confidence interval: 1.397-2.972). Conclusion:Glycated haemoglobin and high triglycerides were positively correlated after accounting for relevant covariates.HbA1c is thus one of the predictors of cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus and can be used to determine triglyceride levels.
