title: Lipid disorders in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
abstract: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic subjects. Abnormalities in circulating lipids and lipoproteins are considered to be important risk factors for cardiovascular disease because they occur with increased frequency in diabetic individuals. Because reversal of these abnormalities carries the potential for preventing or ameliorating cardiovascular disease, their identification and management with other cardiovascular disease risk factors deserve equal importance to the management of hyperglycemia and frequently are complementary to it.
