Reads0

TLDR
In patients with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c levels were associated with lower risks of macrovascular events and death down to a threshold of 7.0% and microv vascular events down toA threshold of 6.5%.
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis There is conflicting evidence regarding appropriate glycaemic targets for patients with type 2 diabetes. Here, we investigate the relationship between HbA1c and the risks of vascular complications and death in such patients.

Markers of and Risk Factors for the Development and Progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: This review summarizes the evidence regarding the prognostic value and benefits of targeting established and novel risk markers for DKD development and progression and suggests that predictive accuracy often may be increased with greater attention to established markers.

Robust Locally Weighted Regression and Smoothing Scatterplots

TL;DR: Robust locally weighted regression as discussed by the authors is a method for smoothing a scatterplot, in which the fitted value at z k is the value of a polynomial fit to the data using weighted least squares, where the weight for (x i, y i ) is large if x i is close to x k and small if it is not.

Association of glycaemia with macrovascular and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 35): prospective observational study

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes the risk of diabetic complications was strongly associated with previous hyperglycaemia, with the lowest risk being in those with HbA1c values in the normal range (<6.0%).
