Abstract

Background: Dyslipidemia is a major cardiovascular risk factor in patients with type 2 diabetes. Statins are the drug of choice, yet their effects on glycemic control remain controversial. Methods: A prospective, descriptive–analytical study on 40 patients with type 2 diabetes receiving 10mg statin therapy at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. HbA1C and lipid profiles were measured before and after 3 months. Linear regression was used to identify related factors. Results: Mean HbA1C decreased by 1.07% (p < 0.001), LDL-C decreased by 0.86 mmol/L (p < 0.001). Baseline HbA1C, ΔLDL-C and MMAS-8 score significantly affected ΔHbA1C. Greater LDL-C reduction was found in patients with higher initial LDL, lower BMI, higher education, and better adherence. Conclusion: Low-dose statins improve both HbA1C and lipid levels after 3 months. Emphasis should be placed on adherence and personalized factors to optimize outcomes.
