Objective: Dyslipidemia represents an added factor of cardiovascular risk for patients with diabetes. The objective of this work was to study the characteristics of dyslipidemia in a group of patients with diabetes.
Methods Cross-sectional study including a group of patients with diabetes associated with dyslipidemia, during a period of 6 months, admitted in the day hospital unit of the National Institute of Nutrition of Tunis. The data was collected by consulting medical records.
Results: We included 58 patients with an average age of 57 ± 11 years and a female predominance (69%). The average duration of diabetes was 14 ± 7 years. Patients were on insulin therapy in 84% of cases. Mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 9.4±1%. Arterial hypertension, dysthyroidism, coronary artery disease and renal failure were found in 62%, 13%, 14% and 4% of cases respectively. Pure hypercholesterolemia was noted in 58% of patients while 42% had mixed dyslipidemia. Mean cholesterolemia was 4.6 ± 1 mmol/l, mean triglyceridemia was 1.5 ± 0.6 mmol/l. The average HDL-cholesterol level was 1± 0.2 mmol/l. Mean LDL-cholesterol was 1.1± 0.3 mmol/l.
Conclusion: Lipid abnormalities are frequent in diabetes, hence the importance of systematic screening and adequate therapeutic management in order to improve cardiovascular prognosis.
