title: Experts urge casting a wider net in cholesterol DM efforts.
abstract: For best results, experts urge providers to broaden cholesterol-lowering efforts. Cholesterol management programs that focus exclusively on lowering LDL levels may be missing out on the opportunity to prevent adverse events in a significant number of people. New research shows that efforts to increase HDL levels and to decrease triglycerides may be just as important as focusing on LDL.
