HDL and LDL cholesterol in diabetic patients and control subjects

	n	HDL cholesterol			LDL cholesterol
	n			Directly measured (mmol/l)	Measured after precipitation (mmol/l)	Directly measured (mmol/l)	Calculated (mmol/l)
Control subjects	82	1.58 ± 0.46	1.47 ± 0.46	3.30 ± 0.95	3.28 ± 0.93
Type 1 diabetic patients	55	1.69 ± 0.42	1.58 ± 0.41	3.49 ± 0.85	3.44 ± 0.89
Type 2 diabetic patients	70	1.29 ± 0.34	1.18 ± 0.34	3.61 ± 1.14	3.58 ± 1.11

	n	HDL cholesterol			LDL cholesterol

Control subjects	82	1.58 ± 0.46	1.47 ± 0.46	3.30 ± 0.95	3.28 ± 0.93

Type 2 diabetic patients	70	1.29 ± 0.34	1.18 ± 0.34	3.61 ± 1.14	3.58 ± 1.11

Data are means ± SD. HDL cholesterol was measured directly or after precipitation of apo B-containing lipoproteins, and LDL cholesterol was measured directly or calculated using Friedewald’s formula.
