<![CDATA[Latar Belakang: Diabetes Melitus (DM) Tipe 2 merupakan penyakit gangguan metabolik yang ditandai dengan kenaikan gula darah. Diagnosis DM dapat dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah secara enzimatik dengan HbA1c. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) merupakan jenis kolesterol berbahaya dan paling banyak terdapat di dalam darah. Peningkatan kadar kolesterol LDL menjadi penyebab utama terjadinya gangguan yang menimbulkan penyakit jantuk koroner (PJK). Pasien DM dengan PJK dikarenakan adanya peningkatan kadar kolesterol LDL. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui korelasi antara nilai HbA1C dan kadar kolesterol LDL pada penderita DM tipe 2. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional dengan sampel 53 responden. Peneliti menggunakan data sekunder dengan analisa univariat dan bivariat. Hasil: Peneliti mendapatkan nilai HbA1C rata-rata penderita DM tipe 2 adalah 20,93% dan hasil nilai LDL tertinggi adalah 255,90 mg/dl. Hasil perhitungan analisa didapatkan HbA1C >6,5 bermakna dengan nilai p = 0,000 <0,050 yang berarti terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara HbA1C dan kadar kolesterol LDL dengan penderita DM tipe 2. Simpulan: Hasil analisis dalam penelitian tersebut membuktikan adanya korelasi positif antara nilai HbA1C dan kolesterol LDL pada penderita Diabetes Melitus tipe 2. Kata kunci: Low density lipoprotein (LDL), kolesterol, diabetes melitus ABSTRACT Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2 is a metabolic disorder disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar. The diagnosis of DM can be made by examining blood glucose levels enzymatically with HbA1c. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a dangerous type of cholesterol and is the most abundant in the blood. Increased levels of LDL cholesterol are the main cause of disorders that cause coronary heart disease (CHD). DM patients with CHD due to an increase in LDL cholesterol levels. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the correlation between HbA1C values and LDL cholesterol levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study used a cross sectional method with a sample of 53 respondents. Researchers used secondary data with univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: Researchers found the average HbA1C value for patients with type 2 diabetes was 20.93% and the highest LDL value was 255.90 mg/dl. In the calculation results, it was found that HbA1C > 6.5 was significant with p value = 0.000<0.050, which means that there was a significant relationship between HbA1C and LDL cholesterol levels with type 2 DM patients. LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: From the results of the analysis in this study, it was proven that there was a positive relationship between HbA1C and LDL cholesterol levels with type 2 DM patients]]>
