Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of death in the world. This is due to itscomplications. One of the most common compilcation is acceleration of atherosclerosis due to altered levels of serum lipids and apolipoproteins. The most common abnormality in diabetics is hypertriglyceridemia. But otherabnormalities may also present, include high level of cholesterol, low density
lipoprotein and apolipoprotein B and low level of high density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A-I.In the present study we try to correlate between glycaemic control and serum lipids and apolipoprotein levels among non insulin dependent diabetic
depending upon serum fructosamine as a differentiating factor
between control, conh-olled diabetic and poorly controlled diabetic groups. This study was carried out on 50 non- obese (BMI < 25 ~r nin- ~me n and > 27 ~ g r ni-n ~wo men) NIDDM patients.The duration of diabetes was more than 3 years. Patients with hypertension were excluded from the study. Non of the patients had be,en receiving any medication that would affect lipid metabolism. Drinkers and smokers were excluded. This work shows thaL L z serum lipids and apolipoprotein levels did not differ significantly between controlled and poorly controlled diabetic groups. This indicate that glycaemic control per se did not correct significantly lipidabnormalities.
