Abstract
Background: Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a significant global health challenge, with rising prevalence and associated complications. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool for long-term glycemic control.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of T2DM and evaluate the efficacy of HbA1c as a diagnostic criterion, while exploring its correlation with lipid profiles.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1,054 participants aged 25 years and above at Gambat Institute of Medical Sciences. Data collection involved demographic information, BMI calculation, random blood glucose (RBS) testing, and HbA1c measurement using the Advia 1800 Siemens analyzer. Lipid profiles were assessed, and the correlation between HbA1c levels and lipid abnormalities was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25.
Results: T2DM prevalence was 9.1% using HbA1c, with higher prevalence in males (4.7%) than females (4.4%). Significant correlations were observed between HbA1c levels and total cholesterol (p=0.0001), triglycerides (p=0.0057), and LDL (p=0.0012).
Conclusion: HbA1c is an effective diagnostic tool for T2DM and correlates significantly with lipid abnormalities, emphasizing its role in comprehensive diabetes management.
