Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant cardiovascular risk factor. Besides controlling blood glucose levels, managing other risk factors, including dyslipidemia with LDL cholesterol as a representative index, is essential to prevent the development and progression of cardiovascular complications. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the rate of LDL cholesterol control in newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on T2DM patients diagnosed within the last 6 months at the Endocrinology Clinic and Family Medicine Clinic of Ho Chi Minh City University Medical Center. Results: The study included 275 newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Cardiovascular risk stratification revealed that 3.6% of patients were at moderate risk, 53.1% at high risk and 43.3% at very high risk. Correspondingly, the overall rate of LDL cholesterol control was 37.8%. The rates of LDL cholesterol control for moderate, high and very high cardiovascular risk groups were 30.0%, 36.9% and 39.0%, respectively. Conclusion: The rate of LDL cholesterol control in newly diagnosed T2DM patients needs to be improved.
