A Comparison of hs-CRP Levels in New Diabetes Groups Diagnosed Based on FPG, 2-hPG, or HbA1c Criteria

Table 4

(a) The area under the curve (AUC) and (b) the best cut-off points for hs-CRP to identify newly detected DM based on the FPG, 2-hPG, or HbA1c criteria in women and men.

2-hPG	Women	0.599	0.011	<0.001	0.577–0.621
	Men	0.640	0.017	<0.001	0.606–0.673
HbA1c	Women	0.700	0.012	<0.001	0.676–0.723
	Men	0.656	0.016	<0.001	0.625–0.686
