Association of treatment-achieved HbA1c with incidence of coronary artery disease and severe eye disease in diabetes patients.

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the relationship between treatment-achieved HbA1c and incidence of both CAD and severe diabetic eye disease differed according to treatment, based on a large-scale real-life database. More research is now needed to confirm these findings and to further investigate the underlying mechanisms.
