- CG181/4
- Question
- What is the effectiveness of statins and/or other LDL-cholesterol-lowering treatment in people with type 1 diabetes?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) - People with type 1 diabetes have increased CVD risk derived from age, sex, glycaemia, blood pressure, renal function and lipid levels as identified in epidemiological studies. Long-term glycaemic control is associated with better outcomes but no trial has investigated the efficacy of statin therapy or other LDL-cholesterol-lowering therapies exclusively in people with type 1 diabetes.
