Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is characterized by elevated total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Poor glycemic control may worsen lipid abnormalities. Aim: To evaluate the association between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and dyslipidemia, and to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients with T2DM. Materials and Methods: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine,sree mookamibika institute of medical sciences , kulasekharam. Sixty patients with T2DM were enrolled and divided into two groups: Group A (HbA1c 6.5–8.4; n=30) and Group B (HbA1c ≥8.5; n=30). Lipid parameters were compared between the groups. Results: Mean levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL were significantly higher in Group B compared to Group A, while mean HDL levels were significantly lower in patients with HbA1c ≥8.5. Conclusion: Poor glycemic control in T2DM is strongly associated with dyslipidemia, emphasizing the importance of optimal glucose management to reduce cardiovascular risk.
