Values ± SEM except where indicated. Mishra et al. and Hu et al. both divided their diabetic populations into 2 groups: one by CRP and the other by presence or absence of evidence of atherosclerosis. Last row is baseline values for current study. *Standard deviation; 1CRP< 3, 2CRP > 3; 3no evidence of atherosclerosis; 4evidence of atherosclerosis (increased carotid IMT).
