Trends in control of cardiovascular risk factors among US adults with type 2 diabetes from 1999 to 2010: comparison by prevalent cardiovascular disease status.

Background: Most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Whether CVD risk factors have improved in those with DM with and without CVD is not established. We compared risk factor levels and goal attainment in US adults with diabetes with and without CVD.

Residual dyslipidemia among United States adults treated with lipid modifying therapy (data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010).

Despite available medications for dyslipidemia, many treated patients still have suboptimal lipid levels. The aim of this study was to examine the extent of residual dyslipidemia in United States adults. Of 2509 United States adults aged ≥18 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2010, 1,129 (41.

Comparison of demographic factors and cardiovascular risk factor control among U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes by insulin treatment classification.

Aims: Data on glucose and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor control among persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) according to insulin treatment status are lacking. We examined DM control, risk factors, and comorbidities among U.S.

Global cardiovascular disease risk assessment in United States adults with diabetes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is often considered a risk equivalent for cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, the variation in CVD risk in adults with DM has not been described.

Methods: We studied 1114 US adults aged ≥18 years with DM from national survey data and the proportion at low (<10%), intermediate (10-20%) and high (>20%) risk, or with CVD, by age, gender, ethnicity and diabetes type and treatment, and glycaemic and risk factor control by risk group.

Results: Overall, 22.
