Glycemic variability assessed by continuous glucose monitoring and the risk of diabetic retinopathy in latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult and type 2 diabetes
Journal of Diabetes Investigation May 08, 2019
Lu J, et al. - In patients with latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult (LADA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus, researchers assessed the associations between several glycemic variability (GV) metrics with diabetic retinopathy (DR). A total of 192 LADA patients and 2,927 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were recruited. Data reported that DR prevalence was 20.3% and 26.4% in LADA and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, respectively. In type 2 diabetes, GV is more strongly linked to DR than with LADA, implying that different glucose-lowering tactics should be employed for these two diabetes types.
