Diabetic patients with accompanied (but often unnoticed) dyslipidemia are soft targets of cardiovascular deaths. An early intervention to normalize circulating lipids shown to reduce cardiovascular complications and mortality. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a routinely used marker for long term glycemic control. In the present study we have compared the lipid profiles between controlled diabetic subjects (HbA1c < 7%), moderately controlled (HbA1c > 7% and ≤ 9%) and Uncontrolled diabetic subjects (HbA1c >9%). We found that blood glucose levels and lipid profile parameters (except HDL) were increased significantly in uncontrolled diabetics and moderately controlled diabetics when compared to controlled diabetics.
