Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often accompanied by dyslipidemia, which is characterized by elevated triglycerides (TG), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and small, dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL- C) increase in particles
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often accompanied by dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated triglycerides (TG), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and small, dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) particles increased
Current guidelines recommend lifetime statin use in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, some patients discontinue statin therapy in clinical practice
Methods: 8937 T2D patients aged ≥40 years from the Korean National Health Insurance Service cohort (2007-2015) received statin therapy for at least 90 days
Results: Patients receiving moderate- and high-intensity statin therapy had a lower hazard ratio (HR) for MACE than patients receiving low-intensity statin therapy (HR, 0.

Duration of statin therapy is as important as, or even more important than, statin intensity or LDL-C levels achieved, and is equally important for reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with T2D
Relative contributions of statin intensity, achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and statin therapy duration to cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes: population based cohort study.
