Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes is rapidly rising all over the globe at an alarming rate1. Complications of diabetes include microvascular and macrovascular complications2, 3. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is an acute phase reactant and a sensitive marker of inflammation. In addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, elevation in hsCRP can be used to predict increased cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients4.
