Spotting risk factors in diabetics 
Of 601 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, only 76% had cholesterol measured, compared to rates of 92% for HbA1c and 99% for blood pressure (p < 0.0001 for either comparison). When elevation was detected, Hba1c was more likely to be treated (92%) than raised blood pressure (BP) (78%) or raised low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (38%, p < 0.001 for comparison).
