Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with various metabolic disorders, which leads to the progression of the disease and its complications. Dyslipidemia has been noted to play an integral role in the pathogenesis and progression of micro and macro vascular complications in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Lipid profile is the indicators of dyslipidemia. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to accumulate the frequency of metabolic syndrome and lipid profile among patient with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This hospital based descriptive type of observational study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Sirajgonj, Bangladesh during the period from January 2022 to December 2022. In total 97 diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study as the study subjects. Proper written consents were taken from all the participants before data collection. All demographic as well as clinical data were recorded. Data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by using MS Excel and SPSS version 23.0 program as per necessity. Results: The highest number (37%) of our participants was from 41-50 years’ age group and the female participants were dominating in number. Majority of the patients (63%) were obese: ≥30. In this current study, the frequency of metabolic syndrome was found as 71%. The mean± SD total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol of the respondents were found as 179.88±42.81, 179.88±42.81, 109.74±46.69 and 44.75±7.68 mg/dL respectively. Among the majority of our patients (72%) normal (≥40 mg/dL) HDL level was found. Conclusion: The higher frequency of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetes patients demands more attention from health professionals as well as the policy makers. There may not have any significant correlation of metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes with lipid profile but aged people may be prone to those diseases.
