The mean age was younger in the non-diabetic stroke group (54.6 [15.5] years vs. 63.3 [9.9],\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;.001). Hypertension (83.6% vs 49.1%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;.001), dyslipidemia (38.9% vs. 28.9%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.009), prior stroke (27.7% vs. 19.3%\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.014), and ischemic heart disease (20.4% vs. 7.8%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;.001) were more common in diabetic patients whereas smoking was more common (19.3% vs. 11.1%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.003) in the non-diabetic patients. The commonest subtype of stroke was large artery disease followed by small vessel disease. Both were more common in diabetic vs. non-diabetic patients (55.8% vs. 44%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.003), and (16.6% vs. 11%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.05) respectively. Diabetic stroke patients were more likely to have lacunar stroke (16.4% versus 9.2%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =.009).
