Diabetes mellitus associated with dyslipidemia raises the risk of complications that contribute significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The objective was to describe the frequency and prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetics to better plan follow-up. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2016 at the Marc Sankale diabetes biochemistry laboratory in Dakar. The data collected in the registry were epidemiological, study of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk factors. Included in the study were all patients with at least one lipid status parameter whose results were recorded in the biochemistry laboratory register. In our study population 19.52% of patients had at least one lipid parameter in their biochemical record. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in our study population was 59.5%. The prevalences of hypercholesterolemia, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia were respectively: 52.92%; 5.63%; 43.56%; 2.48%; 2.04%. The average age of the patients was 55.83 years. The subjects aged 40 to 59 seemed to be more exposed and there was a female predominance. Diabetes is unbalanced at 52.08%. Our work reports a high prevalence of dyslipidemia in diabetics. However, it requires strengthening prevention strategies through appropriate therapeutic education and optimal balance of diabetes mellitus.
