Italian diabetologists have published an expert opinion on the role of bempedoic acid in managing dyslipidaemia in people with diabetes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic option. Bempedoic acid, an ATP citrate lyase inhibitor, offers a novel mechanism of action that can lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with minimal drug-drug interactions, making it particularly suitable for patients who are statin-intolerant. For a practising diabetologist focused on comprehensive management of diabetes and its complications, this consensus offers clinically actionable guidance for managing a key cardiovascular risk factor in a challenging patient population.
