Key result
Higher HbA1c is linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk in type 1 diabetes.
Why the study?
Although higher HbA1c levels relate to higher CVD risk in people with type 1 diabetes, the strength of association and optimal HbA1c levels are not established.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Hypothesis-generating for HbA1c targets in pediatric T1D; prospective studies needed to define optimal CVD thresholds.
Numerous publications have reported that higher HbA1c levels relate to higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the strength of association and optimal HbA1c levels are not established.
