“…Additionally, males with T2DM compared to females had a significantly lower proportion with a moderate or greater risk category. This is inconsistent with a Caribbean study, which reported a relatively higher proportion of male patients at > 15% 10-year ICVD risk compared to females (60.4% vs 30.6%) [26]. This difference in results might be due to different models and algorithms for CVD risk calculation with different risk categories in different races.…”

“…Similarly, a report from the United States has identified ethnic-related difficulties in glycemic control among type 2 diabetic patients of African origin. [28,29] Although our previous report from this multiethnic population showed that patients of Indian origin had worse glycemic control than their counterparts of African origin, [14,16] one important observation in the current report is that the provision of facilities for self-monitoring of blood glucose improved both the glycemic control and 10-year CHD risk level in Afro-Caribbean patients studied.…”

“…It should, however, be noted that the risk of CHD is relatively low in the African or Afro-Caribbean population. [9,16] Indeed, the mean 10-year CHD risk score in this study is less than the 15% score the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) advocated for initiating statin treatment in the UK population. [30] However, the current study has interestingly demonstrated that the level of CHD risk in Afro-Caribbean women could be reduced further if the patients are empowered through self-monitoring of blood glucose.…”

“…In actuality, the UKPDS Risk Engine and the UKPDS Outcomes Model described below have been used extensively by modellers [38] to determine risk in individuals with diabetes [39] and to calculate cardiovascular risk as a primary outcome in interventional trials [40]. It has been used to assess the cost‐effectiveness of screening for diabetes [41] as well as for treatments [42].…”
