Inflammatory markers CRP and ESR were significantly elevated in the patients with diabetes (CRP: 78.5 ± 20.7 mg/L vs. 60.3 ± 18.5 mg/L, p < 0.001; ESR: 52.7 ± 15.3 mm/h vs. 40.8 ± 12.9 mm/h, p < 0.001), suggesting a heightened systemic inflammatory response. Here, CRP is linked to diabetes mellitus.
