Context Although niacin increases low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which frequently accompany diabetes, current guidelines do not recommend use of niacin in patients with diabetes because of concerns about adverse effects on glycemic control; however, this is based on limited clinical data.Objective To determine the efficacy and safety of lipid-modifying dosages of niacin in patients with diabetes.Design and Setting Prospective, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in 6 clinical centers from August 1993 to December 1995.Participants A total of 468 participants, including 125 with diabetes, who had diagnosed peripheral arterial disease.Interventions After an active run-in period, participants were randomly assigned to receive niacin (crystalline nicotinic acid), 3000 mg/d or maximum tolerated dosage (n = 64 with diabetes; n = 173 without diabetes), or placebo (n = 61 with diabetes; n = 170 without diabetes) for up to 60 weeks (12-week active run-in and 48-week double-blind).Main Outcome Measures Plasma lipoprotein, glucose, hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)), alanine aminotransferase, and uric acid levels; hypoglycemic drug use: compliance; and adverse events, in patients with diabetes vs without who were receiving niacin vs placebo.Results Niacin use significantly increased HDL-C by 29% and 29% and decreased triglycerides by 23% and 28% and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 8% and 9%, respectively, in participants with and without diabetes (P
