Abstract:

Our study aims to compare HbA1c levels in diabetic patients with triglyceride/HDL cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) and triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and to show their relationship with HbA1c levels. Method: Our study was done retrospectively on patients applying to the General Internal Anabolic Department of the University Hospital of Sivas from 1 January 2015 to 1 January 2020. 2,938 patients were involved in the study. Patients received HbA1c, triglyceride and glucose levels. The TyG index and the TG/HDL-C ratio are calculated. Patients were divided into groups according to HbA1c levels, comparing the TyG index and TG/HDL-C rates. Results: As the HbA1c levels in patients decrease, the TG/HDL-C ratio and the TyG index were statistically significantly lower. When we group patients according to gender, we found that male patients had a higher HbA1c, TG/HDL-K and TyG index than female patients. Result: In our study we found a positive correlation between the HbA1c levels and the TG/HDL-C ratio and the TyG index. Given other studies in literature, according to the results of our study, we predict an increase in the risk of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease in patients with poor glycemic control.
