Fig. 1.

Plasma concentrations of HbA1c, lipids and HSA in T1DM and control individuals. Plasma concentrations of A. HbA1c, B. triglycerides, C. cholesterol, D. LDL, E. HDL, F. cholesterol/HDL ratio and G. HSA are presented for T1DM and controls. The concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and HDL and the cholesterol/HDL ratio were not different in both groups. HbA1c concentration was higher in the T1DM group (p < 0.0001) and HSA concentration was lower in the T1DM group (p = 0.0413). Statistically significant differences are indicated by * where p < 0.05, ** where p < 0.01 and *** where p < 0.001. Where no significant differences were observed (p > 0.05), it is denoted by ns.
