Higher Hemoglobin A1C and Atherogenic Lipoprotein Profiles in Children and Adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

ConclusionHbA1C and BMI were associated with adverse lipoprotein profiles, and may represent two major modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the pediatric T2DM population. Patients with an HbA1C higher than 8.0% had significantly worse atherogenic lipid profile, i.e., higher LDL-C, non-HDL-C, apoB and LDL pattern B, suggesting adequate glycemia may improve adverse lipoprotein profiles.
