VEGFA and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Mahdy et al[7] measured the serum VEGF level in T2DM patients before glycemic control and at 4 months follow-up and observed a significant decrease in the serum level of VEGF in patients with glycemic control.[7] These previous research studies are in line with the results from our study, which show that a significant correlation exists between the concentrations of VEGF and glycemic control.
