HbA1c level represents mean blood glycemic control. 1,5-Anhydro-d-glucitol (1,5-AG) level reflects glycemic fluctuations, a strong risk factor for the development of macroangiopathy. The present study investigated the relationship between serum 1,5-AG levels and macroangiopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
A total of 115 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 45-79 years, were included. HbA1c, 1,5-AG, and lipid profile were measured. Carotid maximum intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque score (PS) were determined by carotid sonography. An 1,5-AG level < 14.2 μg/mL was used as a predictor of a post-challenge 2-h blood glucose level > 200 mg/dL. Patients were divided into four groups: A (n=32), HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and 1,5-AG<14.2 μg/mL; B (n=23), HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and 1,5-AG ≥ 14.2 μg/mL; C (n=24), HbA1c < 6.5% and 1,5-AG <14.2 μg/mL; and D (n=36), HbA1c < 6.5% and 1,5-AG ≥ 14.2 μg/mL.
HbA1c level had significant positive correlation with IMT and PS. 1,5-AG level had a significant negative correlation with PS. PS was significantly higher in group C than in group D, but similar to that in group B. In multivariate analysis, HbA1c (β=0.27, p=0.03) and 1,5-AG (β=-0.24, P=0.04) were independent determinants of PS.
1,5-AG level might provide additional information to identify macroangiopathy of patients with type 2 diabetes, especially in those with excellent HbA1c levels.
糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平代表平均血糖控制情况。1,5-脱水-D-葡萄糖醇(1,5-AG)水平反映血糖波动,是大血管病变发生的一个重要危险因素。本研究调查了2型糖尿病患者血清1,5-AG水平与大血管病变之间的关系。
纳入115例年龄在45至79岁之间的连续2型糖尿病患者。测量HbA1c、1,5-AG和血脂谱。通过颈动脉超声测定颈动脉最大内膜中层厚度(IMT)和斑块评分(PS)。1,5-AG水平<14.2μg/mL被用作挑战后2小时血糖水平>200mg/dL的预测指标。患者分为四组:A组(n = 32),HbA1c≥6.5%且1,5-AG<14.2μg/mL;B组(n = 23),HbA1c≥6.5%且1,5-AG≥14.2μg/mL;C组(n = 24),HbA1c<6.5%且1,5-AG<14.2μg/mL;D组(n = 36),HbA1c<6.5%且1,5-AG≥14.2μg/mL。
HbA1c水平与IMT和PS呈显著正相关。1,5-AG水平与PS呈显著负相关。C组的PS显著高于D组,但与B组相似。在多变量分析中,HbA1c(β = 0.27,p = 0.03)和1,5-AG(β = -0.24,P = 0.04)是PS的独立决定因素。
1,5-AG水平可能为识别2型糖尿病患者的大血管病变提供额外信息,尤其是在HbA1c水平良好的患者中。
