Diabetes is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and low-degree inflammation may play a central role in both diseases. Glycosylated haemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) is an established measure of long-term glycaemic control but data on its correlation with markers of inflammation are limited, especially in patients with atherosclerotic manifestations. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the associations between HbA(1c) and a panel of inflammation-sensitive parameters in patients with and without diabetes.
