Common medications used by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: what are their effects on the lipid profile?

Abstract: Dyslipidemia is the most fundamental risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In clinical practice, many commonly prescribed medications can alter the patient’s lipid profile and, potentially, the risk for ASCVD—either favorably or unfavorably. The dyslipidemia observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be characterized as both ominous and cryptic, in terms of unrecognized, disproportionately elevated atherogenic cholesterol particle concentrations, in spite of deceptively and relat… Show more

“…Similarly, we noted an increase in the lipid components such as LDL that are susceptible to peroxidation. Interestingly, we found that T1DM patients had higher levels of HDL compared to controls, which is inconsistent with results of previous studies (15). Moreover, we observed that HDL level was significantly higher in T2DM patients with no history of statin therapy.…”

“…Briefly, various treatments have been shown to have modest but positive lipid effects, including metformin, GLP1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, alfa-glucosidase inhibitors, colesevelam, and insulin [62•, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69]. Pioglitazone also has TG-lowering effects while rosiglitazone can increase TG levels [70].…”

“…Diabetic dyslipidemia, which is characterized by raised triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol levels, is one contributor to the high cardiovascular risk of T2D [18]. Several medications commonly used in T2D patients may affect the lipid profile [19] and a therapeutic increase in HDL cholesterol may explain, at least in part, cardiovascular protection by SGLT-2i.…”
