Variation of fasting plasma glucose: a predictor of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

Time-dependent variation of FPG was a strong predictor of all-cause, expanded, and nonexpanded cardiovascular disease-related mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that glucose variation may become a measure in clinical practice for the goal in the management of these patients.
