Per definition, the glycemic indices were in the frank diabetic range for the diabetes group, and the metabolic status was overall consistently worse than the nondiabetic group with respect to CRP (12.0 (15.0) versus 7.0 (5.0)mg/L, p-value = 0.003), triglycerides (164.0 (78.0) versus 119.0 (69.0)mg/dL, p-value = 0.01), HDL-cholesterol (42.1 ± 10.1 versus 50.0 ± 13.5 mg/dL, p-value = 0.04) and HOMA-IR (6.0 (4.1) versus 2.4 (2.5), p-value = 0.02). Here, CRP is linked to diabetes mellitus.
