Thayakaran R, et al. - In people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, researchers ascertained if glycemic control was correlated with a lifelong higher risk of fracture. The Health Improvement Network database identified people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes between January 1, 1995 and May 10, 2016. There were 5,368 people included with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Findings revealed that the estimated adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for HbA_1c was statistically significant. An association was found between higher HbA_1c and an increased risk for fractures in people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
