Abstract
We aim to understand the impact of HbA1c variability, as measured by SD-HbA1c, on risk of microalbuminuria in T1D population. An analysis was performed utilizing data of 8,680 participants in the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry (50% female, 86% non-Hispanic white, mean age 34 years, mean diabetes duration 14 years at enrollment) who met the following criteria: ≥2 clinic visit records, T1D duration ≥1 year at enrollment, age of diagnosis ≥10 years old and no known renal disease (including no microalbuminuria) at the time of registry enrollment. Median number of albuminuria and HbA1c measures were 4 and 21 per participant, respectively. Microalbuminuria was present during follow-up in 562 (6.5%) participants. Median intrapersonal mean HbA1c and SD-HbA1c were 7.8% and 0.6% respectively. Participants with high HbA1c variability had shorter time to first microalbuminuria (p<0.001, Figure 1a.) Those with high (≥50th percentile) mean HbA1c and high SD-HbA1c also had shorter diabetes duration prior to first reported microalbuminuria compared to high mean-HbA1c but low SD-HbA1c (p<0.001, Figure 1b). HbA1c variability relates to risk of microalbuminuria in T1D; its relationship to other outcomes should be studied.
