          Diabetes and High Cholesterol
People who have diabetes need to be especially attentive to keeping their cholesterol levels low.

According to NCEP guidelines, diabetes substantially increases the risk of heart disease. In fact, people with diabetes carry a risk of heart disease similar to people with a history of heart disease.1

Please note: LESCOL® XL does not treat diabetes. LESCOL® XL is for the treatment of high cholesterol.
