Overview

The most important aspect of secondary prevention in diabetes mellitus type 2 is, to decrease the macrovascular mortality. Among the preventive measures, lipid control, smoking cessation and hypertension treatment are the most important ones.

Secondary Prevention

Secondary prevention is focused to decrease the macrovascular complications. Application of effective strategies can result in up to 50% risk reduction in macrovascular complications.[1] Effective measures in this case include:[2]

Triglyceride level should be less than 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) and favorable HDL levels is >40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) for men and >50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) for women.
Statin treatment for preventive measures should be considered for all diabetic patients. The following table summarizes the statin therapy strategies:

¶ :CVD risk factors include LDL cholesterol ≥100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), high blood pressure, smoking, and overweight and obesity.

Δ :Overt CVD includes those with previous cardiovascular events or acute coronary syndromes.

  • Blood pressure control
Blood pressure should be measured in every visits. Goal of blood pressure is less than 140/90
