Abstract 261: Global Patterns of Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Factor Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Insights From the Global DISCOVER Registry [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: In a global registry of individuals with T2D from 37 countries, comprehensive control of ASCVD risk factors was not achieved in most patients, with wide variability among countries. Better strategies are needed to consistently provide comprehensive cardiovascular risk factor control in patients with T2D to improve long term outcomes.
