Lipid Abnormalities as Predictors of Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-sectional Analysis

Key Points

This study evaluates the relationship between lipid abnormalities and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Cross-sectional analysis involving 220 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Assessment of clinical details, biochemical parameters, and statistical relationships.
Categorization of glycemic control based on glycated hemoglobin levels.
60.0% of patients exhibited poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%).
Significantly higher levels of total cholesterol (212.8 vs 178.6 mg/dL) and triglycerides (196.3 vs 142.5 mg/dL) linked to poor control.
Independent predictors for poor glycemic control included elevated triglycerides (AOR: 2.34) and low HDL-C (AOR: 2.08).

Abstract

Background: Dyslipidemia frequently coexists with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may influence glycemic status.This study evaluated lipid abnormalities as predictors of glycemic control in T2DM patients. Materials and methods:This cross-sectional study included 220 adults with T2DM.Clinical details and biochemical parameters, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting lipid profile, were assessed.Glycemic control was categorized as good (HbA1c 5 years (AOR: 1.69) were independent predictors of poor glycemic control.Conclusion: Lipid abnormalities, particularly hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C, are significant predictors of poor glycemic control in T2DM.Routine lipid monitoring may aid in comprehensive metabolic management.
