Abstract

The study “postprandial hypertriglyceridemia as a risk factor for macro vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus” was a case control study conducted on patients visiting the out patient department of Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. Sixty eight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 22 healthy controls were included in the study. Selected patients and controls underwent clinical and biochemical evaluation including blood sugar, lipid profile and cardiac function to detect the presence of macro vascular complications of diabetes. Selected patients and subjects were subjected to a high fat meal and plasma triglycerides were measured two and four hours after fat challenge. It was observed that post load hypertriglyceridemia correlated better than fasting triglycerides in patients with macro vascular complications. It was also observed that persistent postprandial hypertriglyceridemia was observed in diabetic patients with complications.
