Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile abnormalities in newly diagnosed 
type 2 diabetics.  
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study was done in the Department of General Medicine,

Diabetes Association) criteria  and  both males andfemales were include in this study for 
determine the lipid profile levels.  
Results: According to ATP III classification 44 (44%) participants had normal serum 
triglycerides levels which is <150 mg/dl whereas 56(56%) participants had an abnormal level 
of serum triglycerides. Among the 56 (56)participants with abnormal triglycerides, 33% had 
borderline high levels (150-199mg/dl), 23% had high levels (200-499 mg/dl). In our study, 
55% participants had low HDL and 45% participants had normal HDL. The Gender 
distribution showed that 23 male participants (41.82%) and 32 female participants (58.18%) 
had low HDL. In our study, among the 100 participants, 68(68%) participants   
had   
desirable total   Cholesterol levels of<200mg/dl, 27(27%) had borderline high levels of 200- 
239mg/dland5(5%)hadhightotalcholesterollevelsof ≥240mg/dl. 32 (32%) participants had an 
optimal level of LDL of which 13 (40.62%) participants were males and 19 (59.38%) were 
females. 34 (34%) had near optimal levels of LDL and 14(41.18%) participants were males 
and 20(58.82%) were females. 20 (20%) had borderline high levels of LDL out of which 8 
(40%) participants were males and 12(60%) were females. 10(10%) had high levels of LDL 
of which 4 (40%) were males and 6 (60%) were females. 4 (4%) participants had very high 
levels of LDL of which 2 (50%) was male and  (50%) was female.
