Not Only Glycaemic But Also Other Metabolic Factors Affect T Regulatory Cell Counts and Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in Women with Type 1 Diabetes

Figure 1

Inflammatory cytokines and HbA1c category. Patients with the worst diabetes stabilization (evaluated according to glycosylated haemoglobin HbA1c) had surprisingly the lowest level of proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. There was a significant difference between this subgroup (marked as category 3) and the subgroup of patients with the best HbA1c (marked as category 1).
