Cardiovascular risk remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet awareness and preventive practices are often inadequate. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate cardiovascular risk prevention awareness and practices among T2DM patients and examined their correlation with HbA1c and lipid profiles. Data on lifestyle practices, medication adherence and risk awareness were collected and analyzed alongside glycemic and lipid parameters. Higher awareness and better preventive practices were significantly associated with improved glycemic control and favorable lipid levels. Thus, we show the importance of targeted patient education to enhance cardiovascular risk prevention and optimize metabolic outcomes in T2DM.
