Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the commonest chronic non communicable disease affecting the society at large both in developing and developed countries. Present study aimed to study the association between different types of microvascular complications with each other and dyslipidemia  in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.  

Subjects and Methods: In this study, 100 newly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were evaluated. A cross section of both male and female diabetes patients diagnosed within the last 3 months (new onset) was taken into study. A detailed history, clinical examination and relevant investigations were performed. Collected data were analysed by using appropriate software.

Results: In our study 60% were male and 40% were female. Majority of cases were in the age group of 46-55 years, followed by in age group 56-65 years. Association was found between Dyslipidemia and nephropathy and also between retinopathy and nephropathy.

Conclusion: Endeavour should be made to control hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia tightly by appropriate therapeutic measures so that the occurrence and worsening of complications could be mitigated.
