This relationship is supported by a great deal of epidemiologic evidence (1-3).High levels of blood glucose are also found with significant frequency among persons with atherosclerosis (4-6), but it is difficult to rationalize a direct relationship between an abnormality in carbohydrate metabolism and the development of atheroma, which consist largely of lipid...References1.
