Table 2.
The difference in the mean between the three studied groups: Control group, Controlled diabetics and uncontrolled diabetics in BMI, ALT, glucose, triglycerides, HDL, Na and FasL. Using ANOVA test, the mean difference between control and diabetic groups,*p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 and between diabetics groups, ■p < 0.05, ■■p < 0.01.
| Biochemical parameters | Control group n = 100 (mean ± SD) |
Controlled diabetics n = 18 (mean ± SD) |
Uncontrolled diabetics n = 102 (mean ± SD) |
