We found no association between circulating FGF21 levels and HbA1c. T1D patients with retinopathy had significantly lower FGF21 levels as compared with healthy individuals, but it remains unclear if the lower levels of FGF21 are pathogenically related to the development of microvascular complications. Of note, serum FAP levels were significantly higher in all T1D patients as compared with the healthy individuals.
