Table 2. Targets of glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
| Cardiovascular diseases | Present | Absent |
|---|---|---|
| HbA1c, % | <6.5 | |
| Blood pressure, mm Hg | <130/80 | <140/85 |
| Lipid profiles | ||
| LDL-C, mg/dL | <70 | <100a |
| Triglycerides, mg/dL | <150 | |
| HDL-C, mg/dL | >40 (men) | |
| >50 (women) |
HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
aTarget LDL-C is <70 mg/dL in the presence of target organ damage or cardiovascular risk factors.
