Why the study?
Does high HbA1c and longer duration of disease worsen lung function in Type 2 Diabetic patients?
Does high HbA1c and longer duration of disease worsen lung function in Type 2 Diabetic patients?
High HbA1c and uncontrolled diabetes have a significant damaging effect on lung function in patients with Type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the need for good glycemic control.
High HbA1c may impair lung function more than duration in T2D; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice implications.
= 0.003) were significantly lower in the diabetic group with duration of disease 5-10 and >10 years compared to the control group. The overall results concluded that high HbA1c or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has a more damaging effect on lung function impairment compared to the duration of diabetes mellitus. Physicians must regularly monitor the HbA1c level while treating diabetic patients, as good glycemic control is essential to minimize the complications of DM, including lung function impairment in patients with T2DM.
