Increased blood sugar is a pivotal factor contributing to diabetes and exerts important effects on body biochemistry. The main aim of this study was to determine the effects of increased blood glucose on lipid profile in patients with high fasting blood sugar. Blood samples of 200 male or female patients with high blood glucose level (100 patients with fasting glucose between 115 and 180 mg/dl, and 100 patients with fasting blood glucose higher than 180] and, of 100 male or female subjects with normal fasting blood glucose (70-115 mg/dl] were biochemically analyzed for serum triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, HDL and creatinine levels. The normal subjects were correlated with patients with respect to age, sex, diet and habitat. Data were compared statistically between the groups using one-way analysis of variance. Our findings showed that increased fasting blood sugar can significantly raise the serum level of triglyceride (P<0.01] which is partly because of its effects on biochemical pathways involving in converting extra glucose to triglyceride.
