The basis for treatment of lipid disorders in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is weight reduction by diet and exercise, and additional control of glycaemic condition with oral antidiabetics, alone or in combination with insulin. Hypercholesterolaemic, mildly hypertriglyceridaemic non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients respond to cholesterol malabsorption caused by dietary sitostanol ester margarine, while long-term statin treatment of respective coronary patients significantly lowers the recurrence of coronary events, in addition to improving the lipid disorder. However, no information is available concerning the preventive effect of long-term improvement of lipid disorders in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients without coronary heart disease, or in patients with the 'classical' type of diabetic lipid disorder, that is, hypertriglyceridaemia with low HDL and normal-low LDL-cholesterol levels. In this group of patients, beneficial lipid effects can be obtained (although perhaps not normalization) with fibrates alone or, especially, in combination with current statins.
