From the Paper:

"Treatment of lipid disorders in diabetic patients should focus on three primary areas: an aggressive approach to weight loss, increased physical activity and glucose control. Weight loss should be achieved through diet control and a program of increased physical exercise and is associated with improvement in triglyceride levels, insulin sensitivity and glucose control and a reduction in total cholesterol and LDL levels, as well as an increase in HDL levels."
