Furthermore, in the poorly controlled HbA1c group, a significant U-shaped pattern was observed with an inflection point at 59 mg/dl.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This study found a nonlinear, gender-specific relationship between HDL and HbA1c in T2DM patients. Males with higher HDL are more likely to achieve glycemic control, while a U-shaped relationship is observed in females. Further research is needed to understand the differing correlation between well-controlled and poorly controlled groups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72796,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes epidemiology and management","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100232"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666970624000374/pdfft?md5=6925a89cb7b18007b10d54f8ce35a2c3&pid=1-s2.0-S2666970624000374-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141483328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
