Vascular complications associated with type 2 diabetes confer significant morbidity and mortality. Atherosclerosis develops much earlier and progresses more rapidly than in subjects without diabetes. The clustering of cardiovascular risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes is mainly responsible for accelerated atherosclerotic disease. While statins remain the primary lipid-modifying therapy, the pharmacological profile of the fibrates suggests potential as an alternative or additional treatment for reducing the risk of atherosclerotic vascular complications in type 2 diabetes.
