Triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is elevated in patients with complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus

Introduction/Aims: Microvascular and macrovascular complications lead to recurrent hospital admissions, hospitalizations, disability, death in the course of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Triglyceride HDL cholesterol ratio (THR) is associated with insulin resistance. We aimed find out whether there a relationship between THR diabetic patients T2DM. Methods: Patients T2DM were enrolled study. The study population was divided into two groups according presence or absence complications. Characteristics laboratory data (group A) without B) compared. Results: Median values A B 3.86 (0.33-53.38) 2.86 (0.63-17.88), respectively (p = 0.006). level significantly positively correlated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r 0.12, p 0.04) fasting glucose levels 0.14, 0.02). Conclusion: suggest that should be monitored order detect microvascular earlier. Increased prompt further investigation this population.
