ABSTRACT: Objective: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and dyslipidemia (DLP) increase
the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to
evaluate the progress and perspective of dyslipidemia in young T1D patients . Materials and Methods: The study was cross-sectional and descriptive design.
Medical records of T1D patients were followed at an endocrinology service
from 2008-2014. The collected data included gender, age, duration of
T1D, body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol
(TC), HDL, LDL and triglycerides (TG). Results: 126 T1D patients were recruited:
69 male (54.8%) and 57 female (45.2%) with a mean of age 16.4
(±0.18) and 16.5 (±0.18), respectively. Diabetes duration and baseline HbA1c
were 14.82 (±2.11) and 8.68 (±1.21), respectively. The HbA1c (average range
of HbA1c 6.5% to 10.7%) increased significantly while following five years by
2.9% (p p Conclusion: Attention must be given
to control DLP and other comorbidities among T1D adolescents to decrease
diabetes macrovascular and microvascular complications.
