Effect of metabolic control on oxidative stress, subclinical atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease in diabetic patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed poor glycemic control leads to worse CIMT by increasing age and duration of diabetes. However we did not find a significan correlation between glycemic status and TAS levels. We suggest CIMT measurement along with other SA markers in poor glycemic diabetics, especially in older patients with longer duration of diabetes, to identify high risk CVD patients.
