Does the lipid profile differ between diabetic patients and healthy controls?
p-value: p=> 0.05
Diabetic patients demonstrated better lipid profiles than healthy controls, likely reflecting the effectiveness of their ongoing medical management.
Ugwu et al. (2009) conducted a case-control in Diabetes (n=100). Diabetes vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Mean TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (p=> 0.05). Diabetic patients had lower mean total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-C levels compared to healthy controls, though these differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
