Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is associated with increased glycemic variability driven by hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes by Hoda, Gad

“…Despite a lower coefficient of variation (CV) (31.26 ± 11.87 vs. 40.33 ± 11.03, P = 0.018), they had a higher CONGA (8.42 ± 2.58 vs. 6.68 ± 1.88, P = 0.024) with a lower median LBGI (1.60 (range: 0.20–3.50) vs. 4.90 (range: 3.20–7.40), P = 0.010) and percentage median time spent in hypoglycemia (4 (range:4–13) vs. 1 (range:0–5), P = 0.008), compared to those without CAN. The percentage GRADEEuglycemia (3.30 ± 2.78 vs. 5.69 ± 3.09, P = 0.017) and GRADEHypoglycemia (0.3 (range: 0 – 3.80) vs. 1.8 (range: 0.9–6.5), P = 0.036) were significantly lower, while the percentage median GRADEHyperglycemia (95.45 (range:93–98) vs. 91.6 (82.8–95.1), P = 0.013) was significantly higher in participants with CAN compared to those without CAN. …”
