Study Summary

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are commonly used to treat high cholesterol (HC) in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Several studies have shown benefits of statin among patients of type 2 DM, however, no such data is available for patients with type 1 DM. It is known from studies on cholesterol metabolism using surrogate markers that patients with type 1 DM have higher cholesterol absorption compared to normals and those with type 2 DM have higher cholesterol synthesis. Since statins inhibit synthesis, patients with type 1 DM may not have a good response and may respond better to cholesterol absorption inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to determine the cholesterol lowering effects of cholesterol absorption inhibitors and cholesterol synthesis inhibitors in subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Primary Outcome

Subjects with T1DM or T2DM were assigned to alternating therapy with simvastatin (40 mg) or ezetimibe (10 mg) for 6 weeks in a crossover design. The data are reported as follows. Subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus: Simvastatin: Changes in LDL after 6-week therapy with simvastatin (irrespective of the treatment order) Ezetimibe: Changes in LDL after 6-week therapy with ezetimibe (irrespective of the treatment order) Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Simvastatin: Changes in LDL afte
