Patients with diabetes are recommended to take blood lipid test at the time of diagnosis and every year thereafter.	I	E
In addition to the routine lipid testing (total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride), non-HDL-C or apoB may be measured to assess diabetic dyslipidemia.	IIa	A
In diabetic patients without CVD, the recommended target for LDL-C is <100 mg/dL.	I	A
In diabetic patients with CVD risk factors or target organ damage such as albuminuria and chronic kidney disease, an LDL-C target of <70 mg/dL should be considered.	I	B
Patients with diabetes and dyslipidemia must engage in aggressive lifestyle modifications.	I	A
Strict glycemic control is helpful to control hypertriglyceridemia.	I	C
Statin is the first line treatment for patients with diabetes and dyslipidemia.	I	A
If statin therapy is not sufficient to achieve the target LDL-C goal in patients with diabetes and CVD, adding ezetimibe should be considered.	IIa	B
If statin therapy is not sufficient to achieve the target LDL-C goal in patients with diabetes and CVD, adding PCSK9 inhibitors may be considered.	IIb	B
