Table 2. Number and proportion of male and female patients who reached the targets for metabolic control and screening for diabetic complications.
Data are numbers (n) and fractions (%) of patients who reached the targets. BMI: body mass index. BP: blood pressure. FPG: fasting blood glucose. PPG: postprandial glucose. HDL: high-density lipoprotein. LDL: low-density lipoprotein. # For this analysis we considered the BDS criteria for metabolic control among patients with measured risk factors (see legend of Table 1). ‡ Hypertension was defined as a sBP >140 mmHg and/or a dBP < 90 mmHg, or any value in patients being treated (Y). * LDL was not calculated if triglycerides were < 4.5 mmol/l (n = 83).
