- Abstract
This article examines lipid management in type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is linked with a marked increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Individuals with diabetes are at risk of major coronary events similar to that of nondiabetic individuals with established coronary heart disease. The most typical lipoprotein pattern in diabetes, also known as diabetic dyslipidemia or atherogenic dyslipidemia, consists of moderate elevation in triglyceride levels, low high-density lipoproteins cholesterol values, and small dense low-density lipoproteins particles. This lipoprotein pattern is associated with insulin resistance and is present even before the onset of diabetes.
