“…In contrast, although postprandial hyperglycemia was associated with increased macrovascular events in observational studies 3) , targeted lowering of postprandial glycemia in patients with diabetes did not necessarily produce a favorable CHD outcome 17,18) . The deleterious effect of postprandial hyperglycemia may be absent in patients with markedly elevated HbAc 19) and current data are compatible with such a notion. Favorable blood pressure control as a whole group in this cohort may have mitigated the facilitation of atherosclerosis by early phase diabetic nephropathy 3,4) .…”

“…Results of the Get‐Goal‐L study suggest this effect is less pronounced after other meals of the day, according to the 7‐point self‐measurement of plasmareferenced glucose (SMPG) . This is to be expected, since the drug is injected once daily (before breakfast) and its plasma half‐life is 3–4 h. Postprandial hyperglycaemia is commonly observed among patients with diabetes [], even among patients showing well‐controlled HbA1c levels and epidemiological studies have shown a link between blood sugar levels following meals and the risk of the onset of cardiovascular disease [] or retinopathy . However, it is still unclear whether the control of PPG levels confers advantages in terms of macrovascular disease.…”

“…There is increasing evidence linking it with cardiovascular disease markers such as oxidative stress (33), carotid artery intima-media thickness (34), and endothelial dysfunction (33,35). Postprandial hyperglycemia has also been associated with retinopathy (36,37), cognitive impairment in elderly patients (38), and some cancer types (39)(40)(41)(42)(43). The combined control of FPG and PPG levels is necessary in order to achieve glycemic targets.…”
