Why the study?
Does cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy predict higher HbA1c variability in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Cohort
Follow-up
at least 4 years
Key result
Severe cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy was significantly associated with a higher risk of developing high HbA1c variability in type 2 diabetes (OR 2.86; 95% CI 1.47-5.56).

May support CAN screening for glycemic variability risk in T2DM; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.

Does cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy predict higher HbA1c variability in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Odds Ratio: 2.86 (95% CI 1.47–5.56)
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is an independent risk factor for future higher HbA1c variability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, suggesting a need for tailored therapy to stabilize glucose fluctuations.
Yang et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=681). Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) vs. Normal CAN was evaluated on Higher HbA1c variability (SD) (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.47-5.56). Severe cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy was significantly associated with a higher risk of developing high HbA1c variability in type 2 diabetes (OR 2.86; 95% CI 1.47-5.56).
