Authors' conclusion

Continuous low serum MG-H1 levels are associated with a low frequency of diabetes-related complications in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Patients with poorly controlled T2D, mean HbA1c 10.1%
Participants
138 patients
Exposure
Continuous low methyl-glyoxal-hydroimidazoline (MG-H1) vs others
Outcome
Combined cardiovascular events: heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke and all-cause death

Main finding

Combined cardiovascular events

Hazard ratio

0.50

95% CI 0.28–0.87

P = 0.02

Continuous low MG-H1vs Others
HR 0.50 (95% CI 0.28–0.87); P = 0.02

As reported in the abstract

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Combined cardiovascular events in patients without history of cardiovascular events

The same relationship was observed in patients without a history of cardiovascular events
