What is the relationship between insulin levels and high cholesterol?

ComplexSeveralIssues: Insulin+amylin secreted by beta cells & trigger liver & muscle cells to take in sugar from h20 outside cells. Levels ↑ over decades if obesity & Insulin resistance ↑es, but no diabetes mellitus until levels no longer ↑ enough. Cholesterol is a sterol fat molecule, essential to every animal cell membrane for movement. Ldl & HDL particles, not cholesterol, are the correct issue for artery disease.

No direct relation: People with early type 2 diabetes have high Insulin and later may have high cholesterol. Generally these two chemicals are independent of each other.
