Lipid and BP Goal Attainment in NHANES participants with diabetes, 1999-2008. A: Proportion of participants at LDL-C goal <2.59 mmol/L (100 mg/dL). B: Proportion of participants with CVD history at LDL-C goal <1.81 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). CVD was identified by self report of CHD, congestive heart failure, or stroke; CHD was identified by self report of heart disease, angina, or myocardial infarction. C: Proportion of participants at HDL-C goal >1.04 mmol/L (40 mg/dL, in males, "M") or >1.30 mmol/L (50 mg/dL, in females, "F"). D: Proportion of participants at non-HDL-C goal <3.37 mmol/L (130 mg/dL). E: Proportion of participants at BP goal ≤130/80 mmHg. F: Dual LDL-C (<2.59 mmol/L [100 mg/dL]) and BP (≤130/80 mmHg) goal attainment. To convert total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and non-HDL-C from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259.
