PAD: peripheral arterial disease; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; ABI: ankle-brachial index. Values are given either as mean ± SD or as percentages. value: comparison between diabetic patients with and without PAD; -test or test for sex, smoking, and ACR. Significant at . Significant at .
