The pattern of mortality risk across levels of HbA1c differed by glucose-lowering regimen. Lower HbA1c was associated with increased mortality risk compared with moderate control, especially in those regimens associated with hypoglycaemia. High levels of HbA1c were associated with the expected elevated mortality risk in regimens with low hypoglycaemia risk (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

Prevalence, glucose control and relative survival of people with Type 2 diabetes in the UK from 1991 to 2013
The estimated prevalence of diagnosed Type 2 diabetes trebled in the UK between 1991 and 2013. Improved survival in people with diagnosed Type 2 diabetes is likely to account, at least in part, for the increase in prevalence observed. Improvements in glucose control observed in people with diagnosed Type 2 diabetes over the same period needs to be interpreted with caution due to the high percentage of missing data in the 1990s (Diabetic Medicine)
