“…The HbA 1c value was obtained from NHANES laboratory tests. Targets for glycemic control were defined as HbA 1c <7.0% and <6.5%, as proposed by the ADA 16 and the EASD, 17 respectively. We aggregated HbA 1c measures to 4 levels: <7, 7≤ HbA1c<8, 8≤HbA1c<9, and ≥9.…”

This study explored trends over time in diabetes prevalence, glycemic control, and antidiabetic therapy choices among adults (18-64 years) and older adults (65 years). Factors that predict diabetes outcomes were explored. The study was cross-sectional, with data from the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The study group consisted of 1211 persons with self-reported diabetes. Other information obtained from the study included self-reported medication for diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart failure, and health status. The survey also provided examination or laboratory tests of obesity, nephropathy, and glycosylated hemoglobin level. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used in the study. The study showed that the proportion of diabetics with good glycemic control increased during the period from 1999 to 2004. However, nearly half of the adults and one third of older adults with diabetes did not reach glycemic control in [2003][2004]. Overall, 59% of adults and 46% of older adults were obese. There was a high prevalence of hypertension, heart failure, stroke, and nephropathy among patients with diabetes, especially in older adults. The results indicate a high percentage of poor glycemic control among persons with diabetes. There were also a substantial number of comorbid conditions associated with diabetes.

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of mortality when undergoing either interventional or surgical revascularization. However, the rate of necessary reinterventions is significantly lower after surgical revascularization than after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). As yet, no results of long-term follow-up after stent implantation are available. The risk for a patient with diabetes mellitus and CAD of dying of myocardial infarction after a bypass operation is significantly lower than after PTCA. Bypass operation with sternotomy in patients with diabetes mellitus carries, however, an increased risk of postoperative mediastinitis, especially when both internal thoracic arteries are used for "totally arterial" revascularization. For this reason the internal thoracic artery should be used only unilaterally in surgical revascularization in these patients. Preoperative and postoperative stabilization of the blood sugar level is very important. Sclerosis of the vessels in close proximity to the heart (ascending aorta, carotid arteries) must be clarified preoperatively. The operation should be carried out particularly carefully, with the wound area kept as small as possible. Reexploration should definitely be avoided. If these guidelines are followed, surgical revascularization in patients with CAD and diabetes mellitus can achieve very good results.
