Recent HbA1c & Mortality Risk T2D

The present findings suggest that an HbA1c target of less than 6.5% or 48 mmol/mol might be too low for some patients and large reductions, or increases, in HbA1c levels should be approached cautiously. The findings also point to potential age-related differences in HbA1c levels and mortality rates with younger diabetes patients being at relatively greater risk of mortality associated with low HbA1c levels even though absolute risks are smaller at young ages (PLoS ONE)
