# Cardiometabolic risk factors and their association with carotid intima media thickness among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

## TL;DR

This study examines how controlling cardiometabolic risk factors affects carotid intima media thickness in type 2 diabetes patients in a developing country.

## Contribution

The study provides insights into cardiometabolic risk factor control in a single center in a developing country context.

## Key findings

- Poor control of cardiometabolic risk factors was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness.
- The study highlights the importance of managing these risk factors to prevent cardiovascular complications.
- Findings suggest a need for improved diabetes and cardiovascular risk management in similar settings.
