The study of high density lipoprotein HDL levels In diabetes type 2 patients who are

Abstract

Background & Objective: low HDL is common in diabetes type 2 patients ,and  low HDL in the serum considered an autonomous risk factor of cardiovascular disease, thus treating this problem may help to reduce the risk of  cardiovascular disease in diabetes type 2 patients. The study aims at comparing the average HDL between a group of diabetic patients type 2 and a group of non-diabetic patients .whereas both groups receive a treatment for dyslipidemia .

Materials & Methods: The study consisted of 308 patients , males , aged  between 25 -95 years , they all were patients with dyslipidemia and  received a  treatment for it ( 100 % of the patients  received a treatment by statin). They were divided into two groups: a group of diabetic patients type 2, and a group of non-diabetic patients .we compared the average HDL between the two groups .

Results: The result showed that:

 the average of HDL in diabetic patients was 37.44 mg/dl versus 46.55mg/dl in non- diabetic patients . 63.6 % of  diabetic patients versus 29.9 % of non - diabetic patients had less than 40 mg/dl HDL level .

Conclusions: the statistics study showed an important correlation between  the diabetes disease type 2 and low HDL . so we recommend to put HDL in a diabetic patients type 2 who receive a treatment for dyslipidemia under observation because they  may need a higher doses than non- diabetic patients .
