Prospective observational study finds glycaemia influences complications in type 2 diabetes, suggesting HbA1c reduction can help mitigate risks.
In patients with type 2 diabetes the risk of diabetic complications was strongly associated with previous hyperglycaemia. Any reduction in HbA(1c) is likely to reduce the risk of complications, with the lowest risk being in those with HbA(1c) values in the normal range (<6.0%).
