Differential management and associations of dyslipidaemia and hypertension by glycaemic status in urban South Africans

CONCLUSION: Albeit that diabetes control was poor and required better management, dyslipidaemia and hypertension prevalence were higher and better managed in KD than NDD and normoglycaemia. Different approaches are required to improve glucose control in KD, better identify NDD and monitor and prevent diabetes in high-risk individuals. Also important would be to improve care of hypertension and dyslipidaemia in those without KD.PMID:38525580 | DOI:10.7196/SAMJ.2024.v114i3.1315
