Abstract | This issue of the journal brings a paper with strong perspective in practice - “Blood Viscosity, Lipid Profile, and Lipid Peroxidation in Type-1 Diabetic Patients with Good and Poor Glycemic Control.”[1] Patients with diabetes show lipid disorders that promote atherogenesis, which in turn feed forward to cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications. Though the pathophysiology of these dyslipidemia is not totally explained, hyperglycemia and peripheral hyperinsulinemia are deemed to play a role. For instance, insulin has an antilipolytic action as well as the potential to promote storage of triglycerides. Hence, it is necessary to pay attention to lipid profile abnormalities in patients with type 1 diabetes in order to reduce CVD complications.[2] In referring to diabetes in this context, it is regardless whether patient is type 1 or type 2, because the biochemistry and physiology in either type has CVD implications and associated with lipid oxidation and viscosity of blood. |
