Glycaemic threshold for diabetes-specific retinopathy among individuals from Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Portugal

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, Volume 103, No. 3, Year 2014

We studied the glycaemic threshold and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in screen-detected diabetes in Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Portugal. The prevalence of diabetes-specific retinopathy started to increase at an HbA1c level of 6-6.4% (42-47mmol/mol) and in individuals with HbA1c >7.0% the prevalence was 6.0%. © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
