Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 12(6), 540-544. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1463-1326.2009.01190.x

Aim: The benefit of direct, as opposed to calculated, low density lipoprotein - cholesterol (LDL-C) measurement remains unclear. This study compared the biological variability of direct LDL in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on equivalent doses...
