Metabolic Features of Diabetic Patients (mean±sem)


	Diabetes mellitus patients
	Total DM patients	Well-controlled DM HbA1C < 7.0%	Moderately controlled DM HbA1C 7.0-8.0%	Poorly controlled DM HbA1C > 8.0%
n	34	8	11	16
Age	52 ± 12	45.6 ± 5.0	54.4 ± 4.4	53.9 ± 2.8
Duration of DM (months)	150 ± 20	137.7 ± 41.5	134.6 ± 47.9	165.1 ± 22.3
Triglyceride (mg/dl)	103 ± 53	83.8 ± 10.6	74.8 ± 9.5	114.8 ± 11.8
Total cholesterol (mg/dl)	176 ± 27	172.2 ± 7.7	176 ± 16.3	177.8 ± 9.9

Diabetic patients were divided into three groups based on the glycemic control, as evaluated by HbA1C measurement. There were no significant differences in age, duration of DM, total serum cholesterol, and triglycerides among groups.
