Abnormal Blood Lipid Levels Can Lead to Diabetic Complications

If there are various upward or downward arrows on your blood lipid test report, it indicates dyslipidemia.
Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for diabetic vascular disease.
In this case, lowering total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can significantly reduce the risk of macrovascular complications and death in diabetic patients, which is the primary goal of lipid-lowering therapy for diabetes [2].
For patients with type 2 diabetes, the blood lipid control targets are as follows:

Total Cholesterol (TC): Target < 4.5 mmol/L
Triglyceride (TG): Target < 1.7 mmol/L
High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C):
    Male: > 1.0 mmol/L
    Female: > 1.3 mmol/L
Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C):
    Without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: < 2.6 mmol/L
    With atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: < 1.8 mmol/L

Reminder:Diabetic patients should have their blood lipids checked at least once a year.If you are receiving lipid-lowering medication, have your blood lipids rechecked 4–12 weeks later to assess changes.
