Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes generally attacks people with unbalanced diet patterns. It is suspected that people suffering from diabetes are not caused by sweet foods but because they consume lots of fatty foods. And if left too long there will be an accumulation of fat and obesity that is characterized by dyslipidemia which is one of the main risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, characterized by increased levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and decreased HDL cholesterol. A number of researchers found, that blood viscosity plasma viscosity changes in diabetes. Objective: the aims of this study to determine the relationship between plasma viscosity and LDL-cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes in the Gambiran Regional General Hospital Kediri. Methods : this study used a cross-sectional survey with accidental where this was done by taking cases who happened to exist in a place in accordance with the research context. Total of samples are 57 patients. Results : the result of this study showed that the significance value of the study was 0,000 and less than 0.05 (p <α). The correlation value obtained is 0.650. It indicates that the correlation between these two variables tends to be high (0.60 - 0.799 = high), which means that if LDL levels increase, the value of plasma viscosity is also higher. Conclusions: is that there is a significant relationship between plasma viscosity and levels of LDL-cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
