ABSTRACT
Aim: To assess the serum cholesterol levels of the diabetes patients in the
rural areas of the Sindh.
Study design: Prospective observational study
Place and duration
of study: Department of Medicine, Muhammad Medical
College Hospital, Mirpurkhas Sindh, Pakistan from 1st January 2020
to 31st December 2020.
Methodology: Five hundred and seventeen diabetic type II patients were enrolled in
the study after the written informed consent. The serum lipid profile was
assessed and analyzed the relation with glycemic values and their treatment.
The prescription was also assessed and data were transferred in to data
analysis sheet.
Results: There were 368 (71.18%) males and 149 (28.82%) females. Moreover
223(43.13%) patients were aged from 51 to 60 years. Patients had 3 to 6 years
of diabetic history (51.26%). Patients had glycemic value 151-200mg/dL
(33.27%). One hundred and eighty nine patients had total cholesterol value
201-250 mg/dL. One hundred and seventy six patients were prescribed from
Sulphonylurea with 34.04%, 205 patients were prescribed lovastatin (39.65%), 97
patients were prescribed rosuvastatin
Conclusion: The changes
in the lipid profile levels of diabetic patients might occur at different ages
along with the morbid condition such as diabetes mellitus and condition can be
more complicated if not managed properly. The disruption in the serum lipid
profile, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and obesity cannot be
ignored the condition is worse in developing countries like Pakistan.
