Abstract
Homocysteine is a cardiovascular risk factor for the development of vascular pathology. Large population studies have been conducted demonstrating a positive association between homocysteine levels and risk of developing cardiovascular disease.Paradoxically in type 2 diabetes, if renal function is within a normal range, homocysteine levels are either similar or reduced when compared to levels in the normal non-diabetic population. Whether the same is true for pre-diabetes has not been previously explored.Our study examines the plasma levels of homocysteine in controls,and participants with prediabetes and diabetes from a screening program in regional New South Wales.
