Lipid and cardiometabolic features of T2DM patients achieving stricter LDL-C and non-HDL-C targets in accordance with ESC/EAS 2019 guidelines.

Conclusions: More than 80% of patients are above targets. To bridge this gap, apart from treating more LMD-naive/refractory diabetics, one should consider for LDL-C to put most patients on high-intensity statins, more often with ezetimibe and, within statins, to switch preferably to rosuvastatin. As regards non-HDL-C, the off-target patients' phenotype suggests that intensifying lifestyle measures against metabolic syndrome should supplement current therapies.
