Abstract

In diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia is rarely observed alone, rather, it is a combination of hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and high levels of sdLDL-C levels that are generally observed and termed as “atherogenic dyslipidemia” or “atherogenic diabetic dyslipidemia (ADD)”. In diabetes, there are multiple factors that influence the changes in lipid metabolism, like hyperglycemia, adipocytokines, and insulin deficiency or resistance. Lifestyle management is the first and foremost intervention in the management of diabetic dyslipidemia, with the main aim of losing weight through dietary modification and exercising more. Diabetic hypertriglyceridemia can be partially rectified by insulin therapy and better blood glucose control. Insulin therapy tends to elevate HDL cholesterol and decrease the circulating TG levels, particularly in patients with poor glycemic control.
