Cholesterol is the waxy, fatty and lipid solution circulating in the body. Its main function is to provide much required fat to the body and also produce sex hormones. Apart from fat providing, it also creates a protective coating to the arteries and its surrounding walls. Whereas diabetes is the condition when the body is unable to produce and use the insulin. Broadly talking insulin is the hormone that converts sugar, starch and various other foods into energy required by the body. According to the experts diabetes can be the possible reason for the high cholesterol. It has been seen in various situations that diabetes tends to be the root for high level cholesterol in the future especially for the children who are suffering from diabetes since childhood.

It has been evidential that diabetes generally weakens body's immune system which results in concentration of high cholesterol not only in arteries but also to its surrounding walls. According the latest survey it was revealed that people having diabetes from an infant age are more prone to high cholesterol and its related diseases. Diabetes not only increases the risk of high cholesterol but also obstructs a person from having cholesterol reduction pills.

It is also noticed that people likely to inherit diabetes from their parents at an infant age and in their adulthood they succumb to high level cholesterol.

Few experts feel that sometime diabetes may not be the root cause for cholesterol but people who are diabetic and over that they smoke and drinks this makes them more prone to high cholesterol in comparison to only diabetic person. Diabetes not only increases cholesterol level but also makes the person obese and overweight.
