Introduction: Increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) accelerates atherosclerosis and occurrence of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Intima-media thickness (IMT) is a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis in patients with T2D.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the significance of determining inflammatory markers IL-6, hs-CRP and IMT, as atherosclerosis markers, dur...
