This study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of dyslipidemia and its associated factors among patients with T2DM.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with T2DM attending Family Medicine Clinics in Jordan between August 2017 and March 2019. The socio-demographics, clinical features, medications, and laboratory findings were collected. These laboratory findings included high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TGs).Results: A total of 870 patients with T2DM were included. The prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with T2DM was 91.4%. The most common patterns of dyslipidemia were low HDL-C (66.2%), high LDL-C (62.1%), and hypertriglyceridemia (58.2%). Female gender, obesity, and hypertension were associated with diabetic dyslipidemia patterns. T2DM duration and poor glycemic control were associated with high LDL-C and hypercholesterolemia. Hypertriglyceridemia was associated with poor glycemic control and smoking.Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is highly prevalent among patients with T2DM. Evidence –based interventions are needed to prevent and control dyslipidemia among patients with T2DM in Jordan.Keywords: dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cholesterol, triglycerides, prevalence
