Introduction: Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a swiftly escalating public health issue with noteworthy effects on human health, living standards, the economy and health care systems. Statistics from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) indicate that 425 million adults worldwide have diabetes mellitus (DM) and that by 2045, the number of DM patients will be 629 million and 352 million people were at risk of developing T2DM. T2DM patients are prone to diabetic dyslipidemia, which puts them at risk of developing macrovascular (stroke, peripheral vascular disease and coronary artery disease [CAD]) and microvascular (nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy) diseases. Naqvi et al have reported that, for T2DM patients, one of the most common complications linked with uncontrolled hyperglycemia is dyslipidemia. Material & Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted at Department of General Medicine, Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital & Research Centre, Hyderabad. Total 70 patients of Type 2 diabetes mellitus were taken for the study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria and after obtaining written and informed consent from them. Result: In our study, among 70 Type 2 diabetic individuals included in this study, 41 were male and 29 were female. Distribution of Glucose Triad results of FBS, PPBS and HbA1c levels of patients presented as Mean±SD, mean FBS was 173.59±39.64, mean PPBS was 234.59±94.59 and mean HbA1c was 7.78±0.83. Mean total cholesterol was 276.53 ± 19.53, mean total triglyceride was 283.83 ± 20.65, Mean HDL was 35.63 ± 3.96, mean LDL was 184.14 ± 7.63 and VLDL was 56.76 ± 4.13. Conclusion: Our study accomplished that HbA1c has a direct, significant correlation with total cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL, and LDL among the lipid profile. Significant positive correlation of HbA1c with lipid profiles from our study results implies that HbA1c can also be used as a predictor of dyslipidemia in addition to as a
