Association between intensive glycemic control and mortality in elderly diabetic patients in the primary care: A retrospective cohort study

Hyperglycemia imparts elevated risk of developing micro- and macro-vascular complications. These complications explain the substantially increased risk of morbidity and mortality seen in diabetic patients with poorly controlled haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level [1,2]. However, over-aggressive efforts of glycemic control to lower the HbA1c level had been met with some controversy as to whether attaining low levels of HbA1c (
