Serum lipid management in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: a hospital-based cohort study.

Introduction: Serum lipid management is important for patients with diabetes; however, it has not been examined in our specialized diabetes clinic.

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the percentage of patients who did not achieve management targets (MT) for low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG), and explore factors related to failure to achieve lipid MT in Japanese patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 795 patients (35% men) with T1D and 4018 patients (60% men) with T2D attending our diabetes center.

Associations of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose with incident diabetes: Implications for pre-diabetes thresholds in a Japanese population.

Aims: This study assessed pre-diabetes (pre-DM) cutoffs for HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) that were associated with an increased risk of incident DM.

Methods: We evaluated 2267 non-diabetic Japanese health-check examinees (HbA1c: <6.5% [<48mmol/mol] and FPG: <7.
