Its prevalence in Pakistani T2DM patients remains unknown, despite being a common consequence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Objective: To find out if dyslipidemia is conjoint in masses with T2DM in Quetta, Pakistan.
Materials and Methods: From July 2021 to June 2022, researchers conducted a cross-sectional study. The study enrolled 272 people with T2DM using a convenience sample technique. A standardized questionnaire was used to gather information on socio-demographics, behavior and clinical variables. We took measurements of things like blood pressure, weight and height. SPSS sort 23 was used to examine the data. A P-level 0.05 was judged scientifically noteworthy for the pearson correlation test.

A total of 30.9 % of patients had isolated dyslipidemia, 47.4 % had combined dyslipidemia and 21.7 % had mixed dyslipidemia. 71 % of individuals had hypertriglyceridemia as an isolated lipid profile abnormality, 47.4 % of them had hypercholesterolemia, 62.5% had an extreme value of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and 72 % had a less than normal value of HDL-C. Physical dormancy, fatness, hypertension and extreme blood glucose level remained linked to dyslipidemia in people under the age of 35.
Conclusion: People with T2DM are more likely to suffer from dyslipidemia, according to a new study. Involvement of methods for the recognised risk issue and screening, treatment and prevention programs for dyslipidemia should be taken into account because of this study's findings.
