Cholesterol Management

As a Diabetologist, I, Dr. Soumitra Das, specialize in managing not just diabetes but also associated metabolic conditions, including high cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol levels can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, making effective management essential for long-term health.

Understanding Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fatty substance in the blood that is essential for various bodily functions. However, excessive cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

There are two main types of cholesterol:
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – “Bad” Cholesterol: High levels can lead to artery blockages.
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – “Good” Cholesterol: Helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood.
Triglycerides: Another type of fat in the blood that, when elevated, can contribute to heart disease.
