The mean plus standard deviation is shown, where appropriate. Numeric variables were compared using ANOVA and categorical variables were compared using Chi squared tests
HDL high density lipoprotein, T2D type 2 diabetes, SMI self-management intervention, RR risk report
aVariable was log transformed. Geometric mean and approximate standard deviation are shown (except UKPDS risk score where the inter-quartile range is shown)
bVariable was square root transformed, means were transformed back and the range is shown
