Background: The relationship between alteration of serum lipids and vascular complications is more significant in diabetic population. Present study was aimed to study lipid pattern (Serum cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL & LDL) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus subjects. Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, cross sectional study, conducted in patients with duration of Diabetes mellitus of at least 6 months {BSL (Random) ≥200 mg/dl OR BSL (Fasting) ≥126 mg/dl OR HbA1c > 7}, underwent lipid profile estimation. Results: In present study, majority cases were 51-60 years (46 %), were male (64 %), were Obese (More than 25) (42 %) & mean age of the patients was 54.32 ± 7.12 years. Mean weight of cases was 67.38 ± 8.99 kg, mean height of cases was 161.34 ± 8.81 cms, mean BMI of cases was 26.08 ± 3.13 and mean WHR of cases was 1.02 ± 0.11. 19 (38.0) cases had History of Hypertension. It was observed that 16 (32.0) cases were having Normal Cardiac Risk and 34 (68.0) cases were having Increased Cardiac Risk. The BMI is significantly correlated with WHR. The BMI is significantly correlated with HbA1c. The BMI is insignificantly correlated with HDL. The BMI is significantly correlated with LDL. The BMI is significantly correlated with Triglycerides. The BMI is significantly correlated with cholesterol. The WHR is significantly correlated with HbA1c. The WHR is insignificantly correlated with HDL. The WHR is significantly correlated with LDL. The WHR is significantly correlated with Triglycerides. The WHR is significantly correlated with cholesterol. Conclusion: There was a significant association between type of Obesity and Waist hip ratio (WHR), HbA1c, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and Cholesterol.
