Data are means ± SD.
BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; hs-CRP, high sensitive C-reactive protein; CCA-IMT, intima-media thickness of common carotid artery; baPWV, brachial ankle pulse wave velocity; UAE, urinary albumin excretion. Since mean CCA-IMT, max-CCA-IMT, Duration of diabetes, TG, hs-CRP, UAE, Monocyte count, Eosinophil count and Basophil count showed skewed distribution, it was logarithmically transformed before the analysis.
