Abstract
Severe forms of arterial occlusive diseases occurred more frequently in 11 insulin-treated diabetics with persisting hyperlipidemia than in 10 control subjects who were 11 years older. Triglycerides and cholesterol of total serum and of VLDL were 2–7 times higher (PPPPPPP<0.001). The results show that the atherosclerotic risk in diabetics with persisting hyperlipidemia is higher than in control subjects and that the risk is distinguished by increased VLDL-cholesterol in correlation with increased insulin concentrations. Since the atherosclerotic risk is even more accentuated by the fact that insulin administration increases LDL-cholesterol, insulin therapy must be observed carefully in these patients.
