Dr Mamta Sunda

Abstract: Lipid abnormalities are common in diabetes and play an important role in acceleration of atherosclerosis leading to cardiovascular diseases. Due to increasing burden of diabetes, it is becoming important to identify dyslipidemia in the high risk state for diabetes especially the prediabetes so that early intervention can reduce the cardiovascular risk. Aim of this study is to compare the lipid profile of prediabetes and healthy individuals. A total of 80 cases (40 prediabetes individuals and 40 healthy controls) from OPD and IPD of Rajindra Hospital Patiala were enrolled in this study after taking their written and informed consent. Lipid profile of both groups were measured and statistically analysed.
