The objective of the present study was to study the lipid profile among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of general medicine. It comprised of 60 T2DM patients of both genders. Fasting blood sugar and lipid profile such as serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, HDL, LDL and VLDL was assessed. Results: There were 30 males and females. The mean serum cholesterol level was 228.76 mg/dl, serum TG level was 202.6 mg/dl, HDL level was 39.8 mg/dl, LDL was 142.64 mg/dl and VLDL level was 43.5 mg/dl. Conclusion: The diabetes has a significant role in alteration of lipoprotein levels. There is significant alteration in lipid profile levels.
