Glycemic control for prevention vascular complication in diabetic patient
Journal Title: Universa Medicina - Year 2017, Vol 36, Issue 2
Abstract
Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) show an increased risk of vascular complications such as cardiovascular disease and an increased mortality rate resulting in a decrease in life expectancy of between 5-15 years, depending on age at diagnosis.There are several methods to establish the diagnosis of T2D. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following: i. fasting plasma glucose (FPG126 mg/dL after no caloric intake for at least 8 hours), ii. two hour postprandial glucose (PPG 200 mg/dL after a 75 g oral glucose load), iii. glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 6.5%, and iv. random plasma glucose 200 mg/dL in patients with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia. FPG and PPG reflect the random,glucose concentration, whereas HbA1c reflects the mean blood glucose concentration of the previous 2 to 3 months. FPG and PPG contribute to HbA1c, but the interrelationship of the three types of measurements varies between patients and is complex, while the risk of diabetic complications is still unclear.
