[Treatment of hyperlipoproteinemia in patients with diabetes mellitus].
In a large percentage of cases, diabetes mellitus leads to hyperlipidemia. In addition to the diabetes-related secondary hyperlipidemias, all types of primary disturbances of lipid metabolism can also be observed in diabetics. Depending upon the degree of severity and type of metabolic disorder presenting, not only suitable dietetic treatment, but also the various lipid-lowering drugs, fibrates, nicotinic acid, probucol, cholestyramine and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors should be introduced into therapy. As in all groups with an elevated coronary risk, strict management of the lipid levels is mandatory in diabetics, too.
