Effect of Glycemic Control on Homocysteine Levels in Type 2 Diabetic Patients without Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract

Background: An increased serum homocysteine level was accepted as an important risk factor for vascular disease, including coronary atherosclerosis. However, there was no data about the importance of glycemic control on homocysteine levels in type 2 diabetic patients without CVD. The aim of this study was to investigate association between serum homocysteine concentrations and glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients without CVD.
