CRP and diabetes mellitus: As shown in Table 2, after adjusting for age, gender, glucose exposure, comorbid with CVD, DM, hemoglobin and serum albumin, pulse pressure (β = 0.206, p < .001) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (β = 0.149, p = .011) were positively correlated with serum Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio, while RRF (β = −0.219, p < .001) was negatively correlated with serum Angpt-2/Angpt-1 ratio.
