Recognize the appropriate management of hypertriglyceridemia in a diabetic patient.

Explanation:

Diabetics are predisposed to hypertriglyceridemia because carbohydrates get converted to triglycerides.

Diet is the mainstay of therapy but equally important is good control of diabetes.  If this does not work then use fibrates for triglycerides.Avoid estrogens in such a postmenopausal female because they raise triglycerides.

Hypertriglyceridemia prevents proper functioning of Lipoprotein lipase therefore LDL too can be elevated.
