This study investigated the associations between serum C-reactive protein and fasting blood levels of insulin, glucose, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1998-1994) were used. Study subjects included 2,466 men and 2,876 women who were>=17 years and nondiabetics with an overnight fast for blood draw. C-reactive protein was categorized into low (=1.0 mg/dl) levels. Mean levels of insulin, glucose, and HbA1c were compared across C-reactive protein levels after adjustment for age, ethnicity, education, poverty index, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and leisure time physical activity. For men with low (n=1,818), moderate (n=493), and high (n=155) C-reactive protein, the adjusted means of insulin were 9.4,11.7, and 10.5 microunits/ml (p0.05) ; and HbA1c, 5.4%, 5.5%, and 5.5% (p
