Summary: This study found that the QOL of diabetes patients is influenced by the Problem Areas in Diabetes, and factors such as treatment barriers and psychological distress are closely related to QOL.

Summary: This study evaluated the frequency of using enzymatic and immunoassay HbA1c quantitation methods, which are unable to routinely detect the presence of hemoglobin variants, in patients with abnormal fetal hemoglobin, compound heterozygous, and homozygous hemoglobin variants. The study found that exclusive use of methods unable to detect hemoglobin variants may lead to clinically meaningless HbA1c results.

Summary: The study found that diabetes patients with HbA1c levels above 7% before coronary artery bypass grafting are at higher risk for long-term mortality, especially late mortality; while patients with HbA1c levels below 7% have a relatively lower mortality rate.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with rapid progression from normal or prediabetic hemoglobin A1c levels to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results showed that progression to diabetes within a four-year period is associated with baseline BMI. A steady rise in HbA1c during the same period is associated with age and family history of type 2 diabetes, while rapid rise in HbA1c is associated with age and personal history of major cardiovascular events.

Summary: The study aims to identify a hemoglobin A1c threshold level by which reduction in bone turnover begins in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results show that an A1c level of 7% or greater is associated with lower bone turnover in the study population and specifically in men with T2D.

Summary: Using HbA1c alone as a diagnostic criterion for diabetes may not be sensitive enough in patients with pancreatic diseases. The optimal values of 5.8% and 6.0% for HbA1c improved the accuracy of diagnosing prediabetes and diabetes and should be considered. Furthermore, combining HbA1c and FPG tests is advocated for diagnosing diabetes in patients with pancreatic diseases.

Summary: Habitual dietary fiber intake is associated with gut microbiome profiles among Chinese diabetes patients, and high dietary fiber intake can decrease gut microbiota alpha-diversity. Certain taxa, such as Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Adlercreutzia, Prevotella, Ruminococcus, and Desulfovibrio, are negatively associated with dietary fiber intake.

Summary: The study found that the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is associated with sex and diabetes, with glycemic control in women with diabetes being negatively correlated with serum uric acid levels, while blood glucose and HGI in women without diabetes are positively correlated with serum uric acid levels. The relationship between serum uric acid levels in men with prediabetes and glycated hemoglobin is bell-shaped.

Summary: This study found that different HbA1c metrics were positively correlated with coronary artery calcium volume and pericardial adipose tissue volume, and they could independently predict cardiovascular events in individuals with type 1 diabetes. These associations persisted even after adjusting for multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Summary: This study evaluated the prognostic significance of HbA(1C) levels and changes among diabetic patients after non-fatal AMI. The results showed that fluctuations in HbA(1C) values, especially rapid increases, were associated with a higher risk of mortality. Monitoring both absolute HbA(1C) values and their changes could help predict long-term outcomes in AMI-DM patients.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between depression and diabetes management behaviors in the United States. The results showed that patients with depression were less likely to perform regular self-checks for blood glucose, receive professional feet checks, and receive dilated eye examinations. They were also more likely to smoke and engage in less exercise time. Improvement in diabetes management behaviors is needed.

Summary: Disparities in HbA(1c) testing frequency were observed primarily based on health care-related factors, which were associated with diabetes outcomes in type 1 diabetes. Higher frequency of HbA(1c) testing was linked to lower HbA(1c) levels and decreased odds of microvascular complications over time. However, these associations were attenuated after adjusting for HbA(1c) testing correlates.

Summary: The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes did not adhere to guideline recommendations for A1C testing. The relationship between testing frequency and glycemic control was inconsistent, but more frequent testing was significantly associated with experiencing cardiovascular events.

Summary: This study investigated the age- and sex-specific rates of mortality and relative hazards of mortality associated with visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The results showed that the lowest all-cause mortality rate was found in the first or second quartile of various measures for VVV, while the highest mortality rate was consistently observed in the fourth quartile of VVV.
