Supports lipid monitoring in insulin-dependent diabetes; leaves open whether modifying predictors like insulin dose or BMI reduces hyperlipidaemia risk.
What is the prevalence of hyperlipidaemia and its clinical predictors in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus?
Hyperlipidaemia is highly prevalent (40%) in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and is associated with older age, poor glycemic control, and early renal dysfunction.
Winocour et al. (1989) studied this question.
