TL;DR: Results imply that factors related to NIDDM, independently of conventional risk factors and the occurrence of atherothrombosis in the background population, must play a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease in NID DM diabetes.

TL;DR: Abnormal LV ejection fraction response to exercise in diabetic patients was not related to the metabolic control of diabetes, presence of microangiopathy or abnormalities in the autonomic nervous function.

TL;DR: Serum and lipoprotein lipids were examined in 133 newly diagnosed (type II) diabetic patients, aged 45–64 yr, and in 144 randomly selected nondiabetic control subjects of similar age.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in a cross-sectional study, even among NIDDs with generally low HDL and HDL2 cholesterol concentrations, the presence of CHD is associated with a further depression of HDL and LDL2 cholesterol levels.

TL;DR: The frequency of insulin deficiency in diabetic patients based on a postglucagon C-peptide level <0.60 nM was 3.3% at the 5-yr examination, indicating that true insulin deficiency was uncommon during the first years after diagnosis of diabetes in middle-aged subjects.
