Summary:Background: Dyslipidemia is more common in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), increasing their susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aims to investigate the association between serum lipid profile and hemoglobin Ale (HbAlc), and the significance of HbAlc as a marker of dyslipidemia in T2DM. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study enrolled 500 patients from the Center of Diabetes and Endocrine Glands in Karbala, Iraq. Participants were selected if they had regular visits with their doctors and up-to-date data in the system. Results: Among the participants, 230 (46.0%) were male and 270 (54.01%) were female, with an age range of 40-49 years representing the highest proportion (36.8%). Out of the participants, 278 (55.6%) had severely elevated HbA1c (=10%), and half of them had moderately elevated (250-299 mg/dL) random blood sugar levels. Among the total participants, 98 (42.6%) were males, with 36 (15.7%) of them being 50 years old or older. Among females, a total of 86 (31.9%) were within the age range of 40-49 years. Regarding marital status, 33 (46.5%) were single, out of which 17 (23.9%) were within the age range of 20-29 years. Among the married participants (151 in total, representing 35.5% of the total), the majority (53, 12.5% of the married participants) were aged 50 or older. Conclusion: HbAlc exhibits a direct and significant correlation with total cholesterol within the lipid profile.
