- Abstract
In this article, researchers evaluated whether the coefficient of variation of fasting plasma glucose over a 3-year period was a significant predictor of mortality in type 2 diabetic patients aged 56-74 years. Long-term variability of fasting glucose is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia predicts mortality from all causes and particularly from cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is an observational study carried out within the framework of the Verona Diabetes Study, a population-based survey on diabetes prevalence and diabetes-related mortality.
