Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is widely used as an index of mean glycaemia, a measure of risk for the development of diabetes complications and a measure of the quality of diabetes care. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of glycaemic control on lipid profile and to know utility of HbA1c as an indirect indicator of dyslipidaemia. Objectives: To assess the relationship between glycemic control (HbA1c) and serum lipid profile as well as to evaluate the importance of HbA1c as an indicator of dyslipidemia in patients with T2DM. Materials and Methods: The present study is a prospective, observational study which is conducted in the Department of General Medicine at Surabhi Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 6 months.
