Objectives To compare high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in children with type 1 diabetes, healthy controls, and children with obesity. Additionally, we aimed to analyze the association between hsCRP levels and glycemic control measured by glycohemoglobin A (HbA1c) and anthropometric and biochemical variables.
Methods We conducted a non-randomized descriptive study of children with type 1 diabetes matched for sex and age with a control group and group with obesity. We recorded anthropometric parameters and studied variables related to diabetes, blood pressure, lipid profile, and HbA1c. HsCRP was measured by ELISA.
Results We included 49 children with type 1 diabetes, 46 controls, and 40 children with obesity. hsCRP levels were significantly higher in the group with type 1 diabetes compared to controls and nearly significantly lower than in the group comprising children with obesity. We found no correlation between hsCRP and HbA1C and characteristics of type 1 diabetes with the exception of albuminin creatinine ratio (ACR). Statistically significant association was found between hsCRP and BMI and waist circumference Z-score.
Conclusions Children with type 1 diabetes have a higher hsCRP than healthy subjects; this difference is not associated with HbA1c, but is related to waist circumference, BMI, and ACR. Obesity prevention should be a priority when performing follow-up in children with type 1 diabetes.
