Beyond that, the levels of total protein (60 [IQR, 54.8‐62.8] vs 67.7 [63.4‐69]), prealbumin (0.14 [IQR, 0.12‐0.18] vs 0.21 [0.18‐0.23]), albumin (35.4 [IQR, 29.75‐38.7] vs 41.45 [39.28‐43.43]) and ALB/GLB (1.4 [IQR, (1.05‐1.6)] vs 1.6 [1.48‐1.7]; Table 4 and Figure 2), as well as the absolute counts of lymphocytes (0.59 [IQR, 0.41‐0.89] vs 1.33 [1.17‐1.63]) and red blood cells (3.88 [IQR, (3.63‐4.16)] vs 4.36 [4.14‐4.64]), and the level of haemoglobin (118 [IQR, 107.5‐126] vs 133 [120‐137.75]; Table 4 and Figure 3) were significantly lower in diabetes group compared to non‐diabetes group. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
