People with type 2 diabetes have a higher rate of dyslipidemia (unhealthy levels of fat and cholesterol in your blood). This contributes to a higher rate of cardiovascular disease. However, dyslipidemia can be controlled and prevented.

Modest lifestyle changes can control dyslipidemia. Eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, increasing physical activity, controlling your blood glucose, and losing weight if needed can make a huge impact on your blood cholesterol.
