title: [Dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus: diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus is a secondary change in hyperglycemia. Even if hyperlipidemia was not present, dyslipidemia will be present, especially as the increase of remnant. Usually this dyslipidemia is improved by a good control of hyperglycemia. In the pathogenesis the various factors relate to the lipid/lipoprotein metabolism, by insulin action (hyperinsulinemia or insulinopenia), adipokines, or hyperglycemia itself. The every changes of lipoprotein metabolism could be occurred in diabetes mellitus, and those are related to the increase of atherogenic lipoproteins. We should recognize the mechanism of lipids/lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes mellitus and approach to prevent the atherosclerotic diseases in diabetes.
