IL6 and diabetes mellitus: Similarly, in the EPIC-Potsdam study, IL-6 and CRP were not only significantly correlated with HbA1c (0.099, p = 0.019, and 0.1, p = 0.017, respectively), but also with odds of developing diabetes (OR: 2.57 [1.24 – 5.47] and 1.9 [1.2 – 3.2], respectively) in models adjusting for traditional diabetes risk factors and HbA1c (129).
