Introduction: HbA1c could be used as a viable biomarker for predicting dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD).Lipid abnormalities are common in diabetic population irrespective of insulin deficiency (or) resistance. The most common abnormality noted is hypertriglyceridemia.
Objectives: To determine the correlation of Triglyceride levels with HbA1c values in Diabetic patients.
Materials and Methods: The study is an observational study. The sample size will be 100 patients for evaluation of triglyceride levels and HbA1c (by satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria) after informed written consent. Triglyceride levels and HbA1c levels will be checked for the patients who are selected, and the statistical test will be done to determine the correlation between them.
Results: The participants were grouped into three categories based on HbA1c levels, participants with excellent control, good control and poor control. The mean and standard deviation of lipid parameters was higher in poorly controlled group. Positive correlation observed between triglyceride and HbA1c (r=0.257).
Conclusion:Poorly controlled HbA1c has been found to be strongly linked to hypertriglyceridemia and also places them at high risk for cardiovascular disease. HbA1c levels can be used as an ideal marker for prediction of dyslipidemia. It can be used to screen high-risk diabetic patients for timely lipid-lowering medication intervention, averting unfavourable cardiovascular event
