ABSTRACT
Introduction: Diabetes and triglycerides (TG) are closely linked metabolic parameters, significantly impacted by lifestyle management. This study evaluates the effect of lifestyle modifications on glycemic control and lipid parameters.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2024 to September 2024, including 201 patients (166 males, 35 females) aged 25–80 years. Inclusion criteria: HbA1c <6, TG <150 mg/dL. Exclusion criteria: HbA1c >6, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, and absence of lipid profile. Primary efficacy endpoints: HbA1c and TG levels; secondary endpoints: weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and random blood sugar (RBS). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests.
Results: Significant improvements were observed from Day 1 to Day 90: TG (257.12±117.46 to 246.88±113.98 mg/dL), HbA1c (9.03±2.08 to 8.35±2.13%), weight (79.77±15.61 to 76.97±15.55 kg), SBP (135.41±16.57 to 128.92±16.57 mmHg), DBP (85.55±11.03 to 81.45±10.41 mmHg), and total cholesterol (201.52±46.98 to 198.47±47.70 mg/dL). Medication dependence reduced significantly.
Conclusion: Lifestyle modifications positively impact diabetes and triglycerides, reinforcing their co-relation and emphasizing non-pharmacological interventions for better metabolic control.
