people living with Type 2 diabetes, explained Cobble, who is also a
director, researcher and clinician at Canyons Medical Center in
Sandy, Utah.

disease risks in diabetes mellitus patients has proven beneficial,”
Cobble said. “But in order to properly treat these patients, we
first must identify them and effectively assess their risk. This is
achieved through advanced lipid profiles.”

Diabetes is a high-risk CVD condition that affects more than 24
million Americans, and patients with Type 2 diabetes are considered
high risk due to traditional CVD risk factors and residual lipid
risk factors, all of which can be determined through detailed
