Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Diabetes mellitus type 2. It plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of micro and macrovascular complication in patients. The aim of the study was to understand the pattern of dyslipidemia among type 2 Diabetic patients. A total of 100 type 2 diabetic patients (50 males and 50 females) and 100 normal individuals (50 males and 50 females) were included in this study. Venous blood samples were collected from all the subjects after at least 10 hours fasting. The sera were analysed for various biochemical parameters such as total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). In the present study there was significant increase in levels of total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides whereas HDL cholesterol was lower in diabetic as compared to normal healthy controls. That proves that Diabetes mellitus enhances the deposition of lipids through a multiple derangements in catabolic and anabolic processes perusing the diabetic patient more susceptible to atherosclerosis.
