Research Article: Association of glycemic variability and time in range with lipid profile in type 1 diabetes
Abstract:
Hyperglycemia is associated with abnormalities of lipoproteins. The aim of this study was to analyze, in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), the association of glycemic control with lipid profile, focusing on glycemic variability and time in range obtained from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM).
Introduction:
Patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in comparison with the general population. This is observed both in those who have very poor glycemic control (8 to 10 times as high) and in those who have a glycated hemoglobin level of 6.9% or lower (twice as high) [1]. One of the contributing factors is the elevated concentration of triglycerides and low density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol, even after adjustment for age and glycated hemoglobin (?b?1c) levels [2].
