Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and its lethal complications. Among the various types of diabetes, Type-II diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent variant and it is due to combination of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency due to pancreatic β cell failure. In this study we examined the serum lipid profile in obese Type II diabetics and compared with a control group who were obese but not diabetic.  The mean TC, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, VLDL-c, FBS were 243.36±36.72, 201.97±55.44, 42.48 ± 9.2, 164.96 ± 16.8, 40.59±11.09 and 143.55 ± 38.68 respectively. In our study, the levels of TC, TG, LDL-c, VLDL-c were significantly increased while HDL-c levels did not show statistically significant difference in the two group.

Key words: Obesity, BMI, Lipid Profile &TypeII Diabetes Mellitus.
