Apparently ''low'' serum asymmetric dimethylarginine is associated with fasting glucose and tends toward association with type-2 diabetes.

CONCLUSION: Apparently "low" circulating ADMA is independently associated with fasting glucose and tends to be so with type-2 diabetes. The lack of anticipated positive associations of ADMA with cardiometabolic disorders is likely due to autoimmune responses operating against serum ADMA under oxidative stress, rendering partial failure in immunoassay.
