A Study of Lipid Profile Level in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in the Age Group of 35 -70 Years

Patients with diabetes have a 2- to 3-fold higher rate of coronary artery disease (CAD), a 4-fold higher risk of dying during acute myocardial infarction (MI), and 2-fold higher risk of post-MI morbidity than non diabetic persons. Diabetic atherosclerosis, reminded us that this is a heterogeneous condition, and that dyslipidemia is only 1 aspect of the patho physiology. However, dyslipidemia is the most readily measured and, at the present time, the most readily treated aspect of the problem.
