Glycemic Variability Is Higher in Type 1 Diabetes Patients with Microvascular Complications Irrespective of Glycemic Control

Abstract

Patients with type 1 diabetes and any MVC had significantly higher GV calculated from CGM, but not from SMBG, than patients with comparable glycemic control but without complications. This supports the hypothesis that increased GV might be associated with MVC in type 1 diabetes and that HbA1c may not describe diabetes control completely.
