Why the study?
The relationship between blood glucose levels and lipid profiles in diabetic individuals with and without cardiac disease needed evaluation.
Cross-Sectional (n=90)
No
In individuals with diabetes, the presence of cardiovascular complications is associated with older age, higher blood glucose, elevated total cholesterol and LDL-C, and reduced HDL-C levels.
Worse glycemic control and dyslipidemia associate with cardiac disease in diabetes; leaves open whether these markers independently predict events or warrant targeted intervention.
Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between blood glucose levels and lipid profiles in diabetic individuals with and without cardiac disease. Study Design: A Cross-sectional Study Place and duration of study: Department of Diabetes & Endocrinology & Cardiology HMC Hospital Peshawar from 11 Jan 2022 to 11 July 2022 Methodology: For the study, 90 people were split up into comparative groups. Diabetes patients were divided into cardiac and non-cardiac groups. A questionnaire was used to gather demographic information, and a physical examination was used to document clinical data. Every patient had blood drawn for further lipid profile and glycemic tests. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 28. Results: The average age of diabetic patients with cardiac problems (n = 45) was substantially more significant than that of patients without (44.49 ± 10.22 years), at 52.36 ± 09.77 years. The two groups showed markedly reduced HDL-C levels and higher total cholesterol, LDL-C, and glucose levels, suggesting a robust relationship between biochemical indicators and cardiovascular problems in diabetes. Conclusion: The study's findings show a substantial correlation between biochemical markers and cardiovascular illness in individuals with diabetes. Hyperlipidemia is more common in those with diabetes.

Afridi et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes mellitus with and without cardiovascular complications (n=90). Cardiovascular complications in diabetes mellitus vs. Diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular complications was evaluated on Total cholesterol levels (p=<0.001).
