Correlation between carbohydrate antigen 199 and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

[3] Researchers have found that serum CA 199 is associated with an obviously increased risk of diabetes among the Chinese population, whether the serum levels of CA 199 involving with glycemic control of T2DM remains unknown. [...]in our study, we aimed to explore the association between CA 199 and HbA1c in T2DM patients. White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, platelet distribution width (PDW), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) count were measured on a Cell-Dyne counter (Bio-Clinical System, Abbott, Chicago, Illinois, USA). [...]due to our study was the retrospective study, further investigations are also required to highlight the relationship between CA 199 and glycemic control.
