HDL and diabetes correlation and management

Is there any correlation of decreased HDL and diabetes or it's treatment medication lik metformin and vildadgliptin/sitagliptine Other than exercise any other method to improve HDL. Please answer

there is no correlation between decreased HDL and diabetes, other than a loose statistical association because both can be part of metabolic syndrome. Raising HDL by meds (some have a small positive effect) is no longer considered a benefit for cardiovascular prevention. The biggest emphasis backed by trials is LOWERING LDL
