Aims/hypothesis High levels of circulating mannan-binding lectin (MBL) are associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy and hyperglycaemia-induced vasculopathy. Here, we aimed to assess the effect of glycaemic control on circulating levels of MBL and the relationship of these levels with vascular damage.
