Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a pandemics that affects more than 170 million people worldwide, associated with increased mortality and morbidity due to coronary artery disease (CAD). In type 1 (T1) DM, the main pathogenic mechanism seems to be the destruction of pancreatic β -cells mediated by autoreactive T-cells resulting in chronic insulitis, while in type 2 (T2) DM primary insulin resistance, rather than defective insulin production due to β -cell destruction, seems to be the triggering alteration. In our study, we investigated the role of systemic inflammation and T-cell subsets in T1- and T2DM and the possible mechanisms underlying the increased cardiovascular risk associated with these diseases.

Pedicino et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Systemic inflammation and T-cell subsets was evaluated. The study investigated the role of systemic inflammation and T-cell subsets in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus and their associated cardiovascular risk.
