CRP and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In our community-based sample, we observed an association between new-onset type 2 diabetes and biomarkers associated with inflammation (CRP, fibrinogen, interleukin-6, monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis receptor factor 2), endothelial dysfunction (intercellular adhesion molecule), and oxidative stress (urinary isoprostanes) after adjustment for age, sex, and cohort.
