The prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetic males was 58.49% and for females were 58.09%. High triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were most prevalent pattern of dyslipidemia found in females and high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) followed by low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was found in males. Overall, low HDL and high TG was most prevalent pattern found. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is very prevalent in diabetic patients, and common patterns are hypertriglyceridemia and reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol whereas, dyslipidemia may lead to cardiovascular abnormalities in diabetic patients.
