Dyslipidemia

An unhealthy balance of fats in the blood — typically high LDL ("bad") cholesterol or triglycerides, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, or a mix. It's a common comorbidity in weight management and part of the cardiometabolic picture GLP-1 treatment can improve. Some people on these medications are able to reduce or stop lipid-lowering drugs, though that's a decision for your prescriber.
