CRP and diabetes mellitus: A key finding from this study was that BP associations with arteriolar diameter were attenuated among those with diabetes but associations of LDL-cholesterol with arteriolar diameter were stronger compared with those without diabetes, while venular tortuosity associations with TFMI, CRP, WCC and granulocyte count were stronger, and associations with HbA1c were weaker, among those with diabetes compared with those without diabetes.
