What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participans With A1c<7%, LDL Cholesterol <100mg/dL, Systolic Blood Pressure <130mm Hg and Diastolic Blood Pressure <80 mm Hg

    The major outcome was the percentage of participants who attain the target goals for A1C, blood pressure,and ldl cholesterol lipids set by the American Diabetes Association guidelines, defined as A1C <7%, SBP <130 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <80 mm Hg, and LDL cholesterol <100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L).

    Measured: 4 months
