“…[3][4][5][6][7] Severe hyperglycaemia could be decreased to the level of good glycaemic control within one year and then kept stable for the subsequent four years. 4 In this present analysis, the change of the percentage of subjects having a HbA 1c ≥7.50% decreased. Therefore, although baseline HbA 1c ≥7.5% was associated with a higher chance of belonging to the poorer glycaemic control groups, an HbA 1c change ≥−0.5% from baseline to visit 1, especially ≥−1.0%, was associated with a significantly lower chance of belonging to the poorer glycaemic control groups.…”
