Glycemic Variability and Oxidative Stress: A Link between Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease?

Abstract: Diabetes is associated with a two to three-fold increase in risk of cardiovascular disease. However, intensive glucose-lowering therapy aiming at reducing HbA1c to a near-normal level failed to suppress cardiovascular events in recent randomized controlled trials. HbA1c reflects average glucose level rather than glycemic variability. In in vivo and in vitro studies, glycemic variability has been shown to be associated with greater reactive oxygen species production and vascular damage, compared to chronic hype… Show more

“…CGM is a useful tool to assess glycemic variability as well as mean glucose [20]. Glycemic variability assessed by CGM has been shown to associate with oxidative stress/inflammatory markers, endothelial dysfunction and cognitive dysfunction, and proposed as one of the factors associated with CVD outcomes in patients with and without diabetes [20].…”

“…Several pathways may be initiated due to hyperglycemia-induced OS: (1) The polyol pathway; (2) hexosamine pathway; (3) protein kinase C activation; and (4) formation of AGEs. [7][8][9] Any period of disease can be considered a period of stress, and therefore, some degree of hyperglycemia is normal during these times, and can be seen as initially protective and part of the adaptive response for survival. However, in acute and severe diseases, the resulting hyperglycemia can be much too high and require glycemic control therapy to manage.…”
