Higher HDL’s (or good cholesterol) is good for a diabetic’s heart
An observational study which explored the records of over 30,000 diabetic patients added to the already large body of evidence that raising HDL levels is important for reducing heart attack risk. After obtaining cholesterol measurement, patients were monitored for eight years to see if they were hospitalized for a heart attack or stroke. It was reported that patients whose HDL levels increase (22%) had 8% fewer heart attacks and strokes than patients whose HDL levels remained the same (61%). Patients whose HDL levels had decreased (17%) had 11% more heart attacks and strokes.
This was concluded as good news for patients with diabetes who already have an increased risk for heart problems. Raising good cholesterol may be one more way for these patients to reduce their risk.
