Background: This study aimed to explore the association between admission HbA1c and the risk of 1-year vascular outcomes stratified by age group in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods: This study analyzed prospective multicenter data from patients with AIS and DM. Admission HbA1C were categorized as:≤6.0%, 6.1%-7.0%, 7.1%-8.0%, and >8.0%. Age was analyzed in categories:≤55 years, 56-65 years, 66-75 years, 76-85 years, and >85 years. The primary outcome was 1-year composite of stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality. The modifying effect of age on the relationships between HbA1c and 1-year primary outcome was explored by Cox proportional hazards model.
Results: A total of 16,077 patients (age 69.0 ± 12.4 years; 59.4% males) were analyzed in this study. Among patients ≤55 years, the hazard ratio (HR) of the 1-year primary outcomes increased with an HbA1C > 8.0% (adjusted HR 1.39[1.13-1.70]). For patients aged 56-65 and 66-75, the highest HRs were observed for an HbA1c of 7.1-8.0% (aHRs; 1.21 [1.01-1.46] and 1.22 [1.05-1.41], respectively). In the 85+ age group, the highest HR occurred for HbA1c ≤ 6.0% (aHR 1.47 [0.98-2.19]). The HbA1c 8.0% showed evident age-dependent heterogeneity in the post hoc HR plots.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that in patients with AIS and diabetes under 55, higher admission hbA1c was associated with an increased risk of the 1-year primary outcome, while in patients aged over 85, lower HbA1c value (≤6.0%) may be associated with an increased risk of vascular events. The results of our study suggest the age-stratified, heterogeneous associations between admission HbA1c and 1-year vascular outcomes in patients with AIS and diabetes.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) frequently precipitates stress-induced hyperglycemia, yet the relationship between baseline glycemic control and clinical outcomes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the association between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and clinical outcomes in aSAH patients, with a particular focus on stress-induced hyperglycemia(SIH) patterns.
Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 155 consecutive aSAH patients aged ≥ 18 years.

Inpatient hyperglycemia remains a challenge, as conventional insulin regimens often lead to both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Traditional glucose monitoring methods, such as point-of-care testing, fail to detect diurnal and nocturnal glycemic fluctuations, contributing to suboptimal control. This review examines the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in managing diabetes in hospitalized patients, including those with additional challenges such as end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), pregnancy, and steroid use.

This study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy and feasibility of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) in non-ICU hospitalized adult COVID-19 patients who had hyperglycemia requiring insulin therapy during admission. Medtronic Guardian Sensor 3 and transmitter were placed on the patient's abdomen. The patient performed a self-calibration of CGM via the application installed in the smartphone.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and the short-term thrombolytic prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction.
Methods: A total of 214 patients with acute cerebral infarction who received thrombolytic treatment in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected. The clinical data of the patients were collected, including general conditions, laboratory tests, etc.

Hyperglycemia can shorten red blood cell (RBC) lifespan, leading to incorrectly measured glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. Correcting for the impact ofthe RBC lifespan on HbA1c is a critical issue in clinical practice. Before establishing a generally accepted correction formula to account for the impact of RBC lifespan on HbA1c, it is necessary to investigate the duration necessary to emake the hyperglycemia-induced RBC lifespan shortening reverse to normal.
