Zheng D, et al. - Among 20,108 insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, researchers examined the correlation between elevated triglyceride levels and inadequate glycemic control. These subjects were from the 2013 China National HbA_1c Surveillance System study carried out in Mainland China. Findings suggested a strong association of elevated triglyceride levels with inadequate glycemic control. Thus, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, suppressing triglyceride levels may achieve more optimal glycemic control.
