Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The relative contribution of fasting and post-prandial glucose to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is controversial. In the present study, we assessed the relationship with HbA1c of fasting and post-prandial glucose measured in a more naturalistic setting, through home glucose self-monitoring or with a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM). MATERIALS AND METHODS:A consecutive series of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the study, provided that they performed blood glucose self-monitoring. HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were measured at enrolment. RESULTS:Both fasting plasma and capillary glucose showed a significant correlation with HbA1c (r=0.66 and 0.61, respectively; p<0.001). When home glucose monitoring was considered, both mean fasting and post-prandial glucose showed a significant correlation with HbA1c (r=0.71 and 0.73, respectively). In patients in the lower tertile of body mass index (BMI), HbA1c showed a significant correlation at multivariate analysis with post-prandial glucose, but not with fasting glucose. In patients with HbA1c >7%, both fasting and post-prandial glucose showed a significant correlation, after adjustment for age and BMI, with HbA1c (both p<0.01); conversely, in those with HbA1c < or =7%, such a correlation could be observed for fasting (p<0.01), but not for post-prandial glucose. CONCLUSION:In conclusion, both fasting and post-prandial glucose contribute to the determination of HbA1c . Home glucose self-monitoring appears to provide a more accurate assessment of metabolic control than a single plasma glucose measurement in experimental conditions. Fasting glucose could provide a greater contribution to HbA1c in patients with lower HbA1c, while post-prandial glucose seems to play a major role in leaner Type 2 diabetic subjects.
