Abstract
Aim To investigate whether a history of severe hypoglycaemia (SH) or the associated presence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is characterized by a pro-inflammatory profile in people with type 1 diabetes. Research design and methods We measured circulating inflammatory markers and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production afterex vivostimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in a well-characterized cohort of individuals with type 1 diabetes (n = 239) and in people without diabetes (n = 56). Data were corrected for confounders by using multivariate linear regression models. Results People with type 1 diabetes had higher circulating concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP; 0.91 [0.36-2.25] vs. 0.52 [0.20-0.98] pg/mL,P
