Abstract: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is an endocrinological disorder which is associated with hyperglycemia characterized by both insulin resistancy and insulin deficiency. Abnormality in lipid profile leads to cardiovascular risks. Elevation of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) are the characteristics of abnormality in lipid profile. Methods: This analytical research design with approach of cross sectional has been done in Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Unit, Diabetic Clinic, Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Lumpur from January to October 2020. Data was taken from medical records of patients and those with incomplete data were excluded from this study. Based on the findings from Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Lumpur a total of 121 samples were collected and all the samples are been used in this study for better results. Results: It is found that there is a correlation between high total cholesterol level with high level of HbA1c, where 91.2% of those have high level of cholesterol also have high level of HbA1c (r=0.331; p=0.001). There is significant correlation between high level of triglyceride and low level of HDL with high level of HbA1c. Around 87.3% of patients have high level of triglyceride also have a high level of HbA1c (r=0.259; p=0.014). In addition, approximately 89.7% of patients who have low level of HDL also have a high level of HbA1c (r=0.202; p=0.037). Conclusion: There is correlation between lipid profile and HbA1c in patients with T2DM
