Assessment of serum lipid profile and electrolyte levels in Type II diabetes mellitus – A comparative study based on glycosylated hemoglobin levels

Nabeel Beeran Abdul Rahiman, Shobith Bangera, Sajla Shahul Hameed.


Abstract
Background: There are currently around 40.9 million patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in India. Imbalanced lipid profiles and deranged electrolyte levels in the body are commonly seen in DM patients. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) refers to the glucose-derived products of normal hemoglobin (HbA).

Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were as follows: (A) To assess serum electrolyte levels, serum lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and HbA1c levels in Type II diabetic subjects and (B) to find out the correlation of lipid profile and electrolyte levels with HbA1c.

Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangalore. In minimal residual disease, files of patients with type II DM of the age group of 25–70 years were retrieved and were grouped into Group A (44 uncontrolled Type II diabetes patients with HbA1c ≥6.5%) and Group B (44 controlled Type II diabetic subjects with HbA1c <6.5%). Fasting lipid profiles such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), FBS, HbA1c, and serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride) were collected.

Results: There was a statistically significant decrease (P < 0.001) of serum sodium, potassium, and HDL levels and a statistically significant increase (P < 0.001) of FBS, TC, triglyceride, and LDL levels in Group A (uncontrolled Type II diabetes) compared to Group B (controlled Type II diabetes).

Conclusion: HbA1c can be used as an effective indicator of dyslipidemia and electrolyte imbalance, and in this way, early diagnosis of dyslipidemia and electrolyte imbalances can be used to prevent complications in Type II DM patients.

Key words: Type II Diabetes Mellitus; Glycosylated Hemoglobin; Lipid Profile; Electrolytes; Dyslipidemia
