The diabetic patients are at increased risk to develop lipid abnormalities (hyperlipidemia). Diabetic patients who have lipid abnormalities are more prone to develop cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the current study was to compare lipid profiles levels between male and female with type-2 diabetes mellitus at Najran area. This study conducted between September to Decamber, 2023. A total of 60 known cases of type-2 diabetic patients (30 male, 30 female) were investigated. About 5 ml of fasting venous blood sample was collected from each subject for biochemical analysis. Out of 60 patients, 50% patients were male and 50% were female. The mean±SD for age of patients was (42.34±14.56 years) versus (45.46±16.02 years), respectively. Results shows significant increase of means of HbA1c and LDL-C in female compered with male (P. Value =0.02), (P. Value =0.03) respectively. Other parameters TC, FPG, TG and HDL-C did not show any significant differences between females and males with T2DM. The results show a significant positive correlation between TG and LDL, and show a significant positive correlation between Age/Year and LDL. It will be concluded that the serum level of LDL-C and HbA1c are significantly increased in female, old females are more suspected to have risk of CVD than males. Hyperlipidemia is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, maintaining good lipid profile can prevent development and progression of related complications among patient with diabetes mellitus.
