ALB and diabetes mellitus: The predictive value of circulating NETs for CAS was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.<h4>Results</h4>Compared with the CIMT < 1.0 mm group, the 1 ≤ CIMT < 1.5 mm group showed significant increases in body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glycated albumin (GA), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and NETs (<i>P<0.05</i>).
