| Factor | Diabetes | Number of studies | Heterogeneity test | Weighted mean difference | | | value | Model of meta | WMD | [95% CI] | value |
| Total cholesterol (mmol/L) | Diabetes | 2 | 2.05 | 51.20% | 0.152 | F | | | 0.087 | Triglycerides (mmol/L) | Diabetes | 2 | 0.49 | <0.01% | 0.483 | F | | | 0.467 | HDL-C (mmol/L) | Diabetes | 2 | 0.09 | <0.01% | 0.759 | F | | | 0.002 | LDL-C (mmol/L) | Diabetes | 2 | 1.45 | 31.00% | 0.228 | F | | | 0.228 |
