Similar Assertions

Even if someone with type 2 diabetes has good cholesterol levels, high triglycerides might still mean their heart plaque is getting worse in dangerous ways.

If someone with type 2 diabetes has stable 'bad' cholesterol but their triglycerides go up over a year, they’re more likely to develop dangerous plaque buildup in their heart arteries—even if everything else looks okay.

For people with type 2 diabetes, the more harmful fat particles in their blood, the worse their heart disease tends to be.

If you have type 2 diabetes but no symptoms and your 'bad' cholesterol is under control, what happens to your heart artery plaque over a year might depend on your triglycerides: going up could mean more plaque, while going down could mean less.

In healthy-looking middle-aged Americans with low heart disease risk, higher 'bad' cholesterol is linked to more buildup in heart arteries — and the more cholesterol, the more common these buildups are.
