High triglyceride (TG) levels are common in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We evaluated T2D patients at high risk for CV events who had statin-controlled LDL cholesterol (LDLc) to determine whether the presence of high TG levels contribute to residual CV risk. We combined data from the Southern California and Northwest regions of Kaiser Permanente to identify adults on statin therapy with LDLc 40-100 mg/dL, no other lipid therapies, and with T2D and a prior diagnosis of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease or at least one other CV risk factor.
