For Diabetic Patients: The NMR LipoProfile Test Provides
Superior CHD Risk Assessment

Diabetic patients have 3 to 5 times the risk of a coronary heart disease (CHD) event,1  but they frequently have normal cholesterol.2 

For the diabetic patient, it’s not the cholesterol that’s the problem. It’s the number of LDL particles,3 especially small LDL particles. Three out of five diabetic patients have higher risk of CHD based on LDL-P levels.4 So even if they have normal LDL-C levels, diabetic patients still face a high risk of CHD.

Only the NMR LipoProfile test directly measures the number of LDL particles and the number of small LDL particles – the particles shown to be more predictive of CHD events than LDL-C.

The NMR LipoProfile test has proven benefits for diabetic patients:

1. It optimizes CHD management by allowing identification of specific patients at risk.
2. It enables efficient, effective monitoring of patients’ responses to therapies.
3. It allows individualized tailoring of patients’ therapeutic regimens.

To see the real risk, use the NMR LipoProfile test.
