Dyslipidemia is the most important independent predictor of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients. The risk of cardiovascular heart diseases in hyperglycemic patients is two to four times more as compare to normal. Although many researches revealed the prevalence and associated risk factors of dyslipidemia in diabetic patients across the world, this information is not well known in Rwanda, hence the need to carry out this research. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its associated risk factors in diabetic patients. The present was a cross-sectional study carried out at Muhima district hospital from February to April 2018. This study was conducted in 100 patients where males were 38 while females were 62. Men were seen less exposed to dyslipidemia with 15.78% versus 22.58% for women. Some other risk factors associated with dyslipidemia were intake of fatty diet with 91.6% of dyslipidemia; overweight (31.25%), history of diabetes (31.81%); obesity (12.50%) and physical exercises (15.78%). There was 28% of patients who had poor control of their blood glucose level (having HBA1C level greater than 7%), while 62% had a good blood glucose management with the HBA1C level of less than 7%.
