Most such patients have at least one lipid abnormality. Managing these complex lipid disorders is a crucial component of comprehensive diabetes mellitus care and limits the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. With the high prevalence of mixed lipid disorders, management must focus on all components of the lipid profile. Lowering LDL-C levels remains the first priority, but abnormalities in HDL-C and TG levels also should be treated aggressively. Statins, fibrates, and niacin, along with newer therapies such as ezetimibe, can improve significantly components of the lipid profile. Alone or in combination, these agents can treat the dyslipidemia of diabetes mellitus effectively and safely.<p> document-rn18648 Cardiovascular Diseases/*blood/pathology/therapy Insulin Resistance/physiology Clinical Trials Diabetes, Type 2/*blood/pathology/therapy 12760 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00
