Results are weighted to represent the US population. Data are expressed as % (95% CI).

Individualized A1C assigned to patients based on age, duration of diabetes, diabetic complication history, and comorbidity. See Table 1 for details.

Individualized LDL < 70 mg/dL goal assigned to patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. Other patients were assigned the <100 mg/dL goal.

§

Nonsmoking defined by self-report and a serum cotinine < 10 ng/mL.
