Abstract

Diabetic dyslipidemia is a pathological condition where persistent rise in blood glucose level gives rise to derangement of lipids vis-a vis lipoproteins; which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Although both forms of diabetes mellitus that is, Diabetes mellitus Type-1 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IDDM) and Diabetes mellitus Type-2 (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM) can alter lipid arrangement but Type-2 is more common (80–90%) form of diabetes mellitus, better controlled by indigenous drugs and insulin resistance is important underlying cause whereas Type-1 is less common (10–20%) form, cannot be controlled by indigenous drugs alone and genetic defect is important underlying cause. The topic chosen in the present study was Type-2 diabetic dyslipidemia.
