Long-term glycemic fluctuation has been associated with cardiovascular risk in
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the findings are
inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the association between
parameters of long-term glycemic variability and risk of cardiovascular events
in T2DM patients. Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched
for longitudinal follow-up studies comparing the incidence of cardiovascular
events in T2DM patients with higher or lower long-term glycemic variability. A
random-effect model incorporating the potential ...
