In the same study, the authors found that the risk of occurrence of asthma was 1.38 times greater in people with high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (95% CI 1.03-1.84; p = 0.031) and 1.02 times higher in people with higher insulin levels (95% CI 1.01-1.04; p = 0.015) [12]. This evidence concerns the gene INS and asthma.
