Global Prevalence of Diabetes: Estimates for the Year 2000 and Projections for 2030 Response to Rathman and Giani
TLDR
There is a greater diversity of diabetes prevalence in Europe than suggested by the recent article on the global prevalence of diabetes, but the data from their study in Augsburg, Germany had not been published when the data for the article were assembled in 2002.Abstract:
Rathmann and Giani (1) point out that there is a greater diversity of diabetes prevalence in Europe than suggested by our recent article (2) on the global prevalence of diabetes. We agree with this point. Unfortunately, the data from their study (3) in Augsburg, Germany, had not been published when the data for our article were assembled in 2002. As described in the article, we plan to update the estimates of diabetes prevalence and will include the …read more

Global Prevalence of Diabetes: Estimates for the year 2000 and projections for 2030
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the "diabetes epidemic" will continue even if levels of obesity remain constant, and given the increasing prevalence of obesity, it is likely that these figures provide an underestimate of future diabetes prevalence.

TL;DR: Most European populations have a moderate to low prevalence of diabetes and IGR, which will be underestimated in Europe, particularly in women and in elderly men, if diagnoses are based on fasting glucose determination alone.

Biological Variation in HbA1c Predicts Risk of Retinopathy and Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetes
TL;DR: Between-individual biological variation in HbA 1c, which is distinct from that attributable to MBG, was evident among type 1 diabetic patients in the DCCT and was a strong predictor of risk for diabetes complications.
