Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Hypertension and Dyslipidemia are common accompaniments of Diabetes Mellitus and are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. This is a study of hypertension and lipid profile in 35 subjects with uncontrolled diabetesin comparison with an equal number of apparently normal subjects. Levels of HbA1C above 7% is taken as a marker of uncontrolled DM. Study was done in the diabetic clinic under the department of General Medicine. On analysis of the data, the mean values of systolic and diastolic BP are found to be significantly higher in diabetic patients compared to normal control group. Also a significantly high the value is obtained for total cholesterol, serum Triglyceride and VLDL in the diabetic group. No significant difference in HDL or LDL was obtained between the groups. This may be because some of the patients were on lipid lowering drugs. Even then the presence of significant dyslipidemia increased BP in patients with poorly controlled diabetes shows their increased cardiovascular risk
