Serum lipid and hsCRP levels in prediabetes – impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)

Lipid levels in obese and nonobese subjects as predictors of fasting and postload glucose metabolism

“…Our results are in agreement with a recent report 23 showing that TC levels are elevated in IFG, but not in IGT, compared with normal glucose-tolerant OB patients. TC and HDL-C were reported, in an univariate analysis, to be predictor of DM2 in middle-aged men enrolled in West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (ie, WOSCOPS) 24 although the following multivariate analysis, considering BMI only as anthropometric measure, was no longer significant.…”

Role of multifunctional Chemerin in obesity and preclinical diabetes

“…One study compared the hsCRP level in individuals with either impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) with NDM group. Chakarova et al reported highest level of hsCRP in similar NDM group followed by IFG and IGT group [31]. However, this study did not compare patients with longstanding DM with NDM or other groups.…”

Vitamin D Insufficiency Is Associated With Diabetes Risk in Native American Children

“…However, vitamin D is known to reduce inflammation, and low vitamin D states are associated with more infections. 16 Whether vitamin D supplementation improves inflammation and, in turn, insulin resistance is as yet unknown.…”
