Comparison of glycaemic and lipid parameters between controls, DM alone, and DM with the HTN groups.

Variables	Controls	DM alone	DM with HTN	value (a)	value (b)	value (c)
Lipid profile
TC (mmol/l)				0.032	0.102	1.00
TG (mmol/l)				<0.001	0.006	0.007
HDL-C (mmol/l)				0.095	<0.001	0.511
LDL-C (mmol/l)				1.00	1.00	1.00
VLDL-C (mmol/l)				<0.001	0.017	0.017
Glycaemic indices
FBG (mmol/l)				<0.001	<0.001	0.001
Insulin (mU/l)				<0.001	<0.001	0.908
HOMA-IR				<0.001	<0.001	0.171

Data are presented as . value (a): post hoc analysis between controls and patients with DM alone. value (b): post hoc analysis between controls and DM with HTN. value (c): post hoc analysis between DM alone and DM with the HTN groups. is significant. Significant values are marked in bold. Analysis was conducted using one-way analysis of variance with the Tukey-Kramer post hoc multiple comparison test. TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-C: very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; DM: diabetes mellitus; HTN: hypertension.
