Background: There are currently around 40.9 million patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in India. Imbalanced lipid profiles and deranged electrolyte levels in the body are commonly seen in DM patients. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) refers to the glucose-derived products of normal hemoglobin (HbA).
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were as follows: (A) To assess serum electrolyte levels, serum lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and HbA1c levels in Type II diabetic subjects and (B) to find out the correlation of lipid profile and electrolyte levels with HbA1c.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangalore. In minimal residual disease, files of patients with type II DM of the age group of 2570 years were retrieved and were grouped into Group A (44 uncontrolled Type II diabetes patients with HbA1c ≥6.5%) and Group B (44 controlled Type II diabetic subjects with HbA1c
Key words: Type II Diabetes Mellitus; Glycosylated Hemoglobin; Lipid Profile; Electrolytes; Dyslipidemia
