Abstract

Aims: The hemoglobin HbA1C (HbA1C) value, translated into estimated average glucose concentration (eAG), is commonly used to assess glycaemic control and manage treatment regimens in people with diabetes. However, the relationships among HbA1C-derived eAG, and mean glucose concentration derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in different populations have not been well studied. We examined this relationship in older people with diabetes and compared the results to those currently used in clinical practice.
