In this narrative review, we summarise the pathophysiological mechanisms linking Lp(a) to atherogenesis, thrombosis and inflammation, emphasising its unique structural features and causal role in cardiovascular disease. We discuss assay methodologies and make the case for a single lifetime measurement given the genetic stability of Lp(a). We review guideline-based indications for testing, highlighting high-risk populations such as those with premature ASCVD, a family history of cardiovascular disease and individuals of African or South Asian ancestry. We additionally outline clinical strategies to reduce ASCVD risk in individuals with elevated Lp(a), including lifestyle optimisation, statin therapy, PCSK9 inhibitors, and aspirin in select populations. Emerging targeted therapies, including antisense oligonucleotides and siRNA-based agents, demonstrate up to 90% Lp(a) reduction and are currently being evaluated in large-scale cardiovascular outcomes trials. As precision medicine advances, Lp(a) represents both a critical risk factor and a promising therapeutic target.

During this period, endogenous islet β-cells continue to produce and secrete insulin, resulting in lower exogenous insulin requirements and improved glycaemic status. Partial remission is often described colloquially as the 'honeymoon phase', a period lasting from months to years which is heterogeneous across patient groups. In this review, we discuss the immunometabolic events that may control the duration of the partial remission period by highlighting how glucose metabolism supports immune cell-driven inflammatory and autoimmune events. We thus propose that precise control of blood glucose within a healthy range delays the deleterious consequences that arise from autoimmune mechanisms within pancreatic islets, ultimately leading to the extension of the honeymoon phase. We further discuss data supporting the notion that managing blood glucose effectively also improves islet β-cell mass, function and maturity markers.
