Blood Glucose Control

The Look AHEAD trial had dramatic results for patients with T2D and their risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). 

Many foods are marked with the whole-grain stamp of approval, but are these products equivalent in terms of glycemic control?

Identifying high-risk patients with unstable HbA1c levels from childhood to adolescence can have significant outcomes. 

Evidence suggests A1C levels higher than 7% increase the risks of cardiovascular events in patients 70 years or older with T2D. 

New research suggests that A1c may play a more prominent role than the duration of diabetes when it comes to respiratory function.

Patients with diabetes who have worse glucose control may have a higher risk of infections.

Blood sugar levels of 70 to 160 mg/dL are considered normal, and anything outside these levels could negatively affect patients.

A1c goals are not a one-size-fits-all; here are some factors you might want to think about to help patients meet their target A1c goals. 

Stroke has been linked to diabetes, but can analysis of fasting glucose provide greater insight into who is most at risk?

Are there predictors of glycemic worsening among patients recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?
