“…The comparison made between diabetic male and females in the previous study found that most of the parameters were statistically insignificant, with p-values of greater than 0.05 [24]. This is in line with this study whereby there were several insignificant statistical differences between diabetic males and females in some instances (Table 3), with the highest in TC.…”

“…This study was comparable to other studies in African diabetic patients, with similar results being reported in a study at Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, which showed that over 70% of the participants had a total cholesterol level greater than 4.2 mmol/L, LDL greater than 2.6 mmol/L, and an HDL level lower than 1.00 mmol/L. Only a few (28.3% males and 32.2% females) of the participants had a triglyceride level greater than 1.7 mmol/L [11,23,24]. In this study, a prevalence of 89% of dyslipidaemia in all the T2DM patients, 56% with high cholesterol of 5.1-8.1 mmol/L, was observed, with 64% having hypertriglycemia of 1.72-8.63 mmol/L, while 61% were affected by a high LDL cholesterol of 3.1-5.6 mmol/L.…”

“…However, our study emphasizes the diagnosis of dysglycaemia in patients with cardiovascular disease, which was not considered in that study. Another non-European study also found a weak negative correlation of HDL-C with BMI [26]. The correlation of these factors has been described previously by researchers, however they did not identify them as factors that we should particularly consider when discharging cardiac patients at risk of dysglycaemia from hospital.…”

“…Association of lipid profile is reported with lifestyle, intra-abdominal adiposity, obesity and BMI (Omotoye and Fadupin, 2016). But the South Asian population is found to have a higher abdominal obesity as compared to the population in the European regions; therefore, the susceptibility towards certain types of diseases, such as diabetes and so as the lipid abnormalities may vary across these regions even if the BMI values are comparable (Patel et al, 2001 and WHO, 2000).…”
