Management of Dyslipidemia in Type 2 Diabetic Patient: A Case Report
Abstract
Diabetic dyslipidemia is characterised by high plasma triglycerides (TG), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and increased small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) particles. Obesity, poor glycaemic control, high fat low fibre diet, and smoking increase the risk of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes. Our report presents effective management of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetics with lifestyle modifications and strict adherence to pharmacological interventions.
