Dyslipidemia is a common feature of diabetes characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) with decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. This condition includes hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and mildly elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-C which appears to be more atherogenic. Dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia play fundamental roles in clinical medicine thereby, mediating the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. […]
