The nature and characteristics of hypertriglyceridemia in a large cohort with type 2 diabetes

To determine the prevalence of mild, moderate and severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in a large, diverse healthcare system cohort with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to study associations between triglyceride levels and demographic factors, glycemic control, body weight and to investigate whether triglyceride levels associate with markers of fatty liver and renal disease. 19,086 individuals with T2D were studied between 2015 and 2020. We compared groups with normotriglyceridemia (5.64 mmol/l]). We also performed univariate and multivariate correlational analyses with triglyceride level as a continuous variable. 39 % had triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dl (
