 OBJECTIVES:
 The primary event in the development of type-2 diabetes is directly associated with lipid metabolism derangement occurring due to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in the newly diagnosed type-2 DM.

 RESULTS:
 The incidence of hyperlipidemia in newly diagnosed diabetic patients was 29%. About 71% patients were having normal lipid profile. Our study also revealed that the frequency of hyperlipidemia increases with age. Half of the patients having age more than 60 years developed hyperlipidemia. Among hyperlipidemic patients, hypercholesterolemia was present in 36% and hypertriglyceridemia in 64% patients
