A Comparison of the Association of Fasting Plasma Glucose and HbA1c Levels with Diabetic Retinopathy in Japanese Men

Abstract

It was clarified that the higher the level of HbA1c, the higher the prevalence of retinopathy, and there was no clear threshold. The detection ability of retinopathy was almost the same, suggesting that it is possible to detect the risk of retinopathy by HbA1c only.
