ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. It is a global health concern affecting millions of individuals. One of the significant complications associated with diabetes is an alteration in lipid profile, particularly cholesterol levels. Central to the complexities of diabetes is the often observed derangement in lipid profiles, particularly in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This paper explores the relationship between diabetes and cholesterol levels, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and implications for diabetes management. Regular monitoring, another numerical component, is the linchpin that ensures the efficacy of these interventions. The recommended annual lipid profile checks, as advised by the American Diabetes Association, provide a window into the effectiveness of cholesterol management strategies. For those with poorly controlled diabetes or pre-existing cardiovascular disease, more frequent monitoring may be essential to fine-tune interventions.
