Relationship among A1C, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia in Japanese with type 2 diabetes--results from continuous glucose monitoring data.
The intensive treatment aimed at achieving optimal A1C may increase a risk of hypoglycemia. Therefore, we examined the rate and duration of hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) and the duration of hyperglycemia (≥200 mg/dL) according to their A1C status, using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with hypoglycemic agents. ⋯ The A1C level did not predict the presence or the duration of hypoglycemia.
