    I was studying diabetes for my exams when I came across this sentence which just confused me so I thought I'd see if anyone could explain it to me...

    Low insulin levels (type 1 ) or insulin resistance (type 2) result in decreased degradation of the triglycerides of chylomicrons and VLDL (because of decreased LDL). Hypertriglyceridemia results.....

    What I didn't get is why is there decreased levels of LDL?

    Here is some info on diabetes and fatty liver. To be frank, it is poorly understood how fatty liver occurs with diabetes - although it is a recognised manifestation.

    Remember too that Type II diabetes is linked to obesity, which may be of assistance in acocunting for the lipid derangement. High fat content in the body results in higher fat accumulation in the liver.

    Here's some info:
