  • HbA1c = glycosylated haemoglobin. SBP = systolic blood pressure. SMI = serious mental illness. aOdds ratios adjusted by age, sex, ethnic group, and deprivation, and clustered by practice. bAmong patients with diabetes only (n = 1061 for patients with SMI). cBody mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2 for white and black individuals; BMI >25 kg/m2 for south Asian individuals.
