Usual HbA1c increments for levels >53 mmol/mol (7.0%) were associated with elevated CVD risk, but no difference was found in the population with usual HbA1c <53 mmol/mol (7.0%), irrespective of patient characteristics. For CVD prevention, strict adherence to an HbA1c target of <53 mmol/mol (7%) should apply to younger patients.
