CRP and periodontitis: The effect of periodontitis on glycaemic control is evident in non-diabetic subjects with periodontitis as they show higher levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and are at higher risk of developing T2DM compared to those with better periodontal status [44], and their HbA1C values positively correlated with CRP serum levels, PD and BOP [45].
