Scatter plot for the relationship between glucose levels in mmol/L and the lactate levels in mmol/L stratified by diabetes mellitus. There is a positive relationship between the glucose level and the lactate level which is attenuated in patients with diabetes mellitus where a 1-mmol/L increase in glucose level is associated with 14 and 26% increase in the lactate level in patients with and without diabetes, respectively. The solid lines represent the fit lines for each category based on diabetes mellitus and the dotted lines represent the 95% confidence intervals.
