In this lesson, the two major comorbid conditions with diabetes – Hypertension and dyslipidemia are discussed. Dyslipidemia is a common feature of diabetes. There is an association between cardiovascular disease and serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. When hypertension and dyslipidemia coexist with Diabetes Mellitus, there is an increase in the risk of cardiovascular complications and also contributes to morbidity and mortality.
