FPG CV and HbA1c CV are independently associated with AD. The associations between glycemic variability and AD demonstrated in this study suggest a linked pathophysiological mechanism, which is worthy of further investigation. Further research is required to confirm our results and to evaluate whether FPG CV and HbA1c CV can be valuable therapeutic targets for patients with T2DM at risk.
