Summary :
In this era of evidence-based medicine we have been lucky to have several ongoing studies in diabetes that touch on many levels. We are learning more about the risk factors predisposing to CVD and other complications, and diabetes prevention is now also a major research focus. Several lipid-lowering studies have been conducted to date, and this presentation will provide new information gleaned from these studies as well as new information on the therapeutic effects of drugs like statins and others.
Learning objectives :
The participant will review the results of several major lipid-lowering studies and get an update on the new drugs available like some statins and others, and how these drugs work and how they may be used.
