A male patient arrives at the hospital with abdominal pain. Upon a physical examination, the doctors find the patient has pancreatitis, xanthomas, and symptoms of nerve damage. The medical professionals conduct a blood test and find elevated levels of chylomicron elements in the blood (chylomicronemia). Not very long ago, this patient was diagnosed with type two diabetes mellitus and was told by the doctor that he should lose 50 pounds. What is the probable cause of this patient having chylomicronemia and why is his diabetes playing a factor in causing this?
