3 The Glycemic Triad 1 Postprandial Hyperglycemia day mean glucose Fasting Glucose Baseline/preprandial glucose HbA1C ADA: <7.0% AACE: <6.5% ADA: <180 mg/dL AACE: <140 mg/dL ADA: mg/dL AACE: <110 mg/dL Nearly 40% of patients in “good control” have significant glucose variability 2 1 Monnier et al. Current Diabetes Reports 2008, 8:368–374 2 Bonora et al. Diabetologia, 2006

4 Attaining A1C below 7% is difficult but important DCCT and UKPDS demonstrated every 1% reduction in A1C significantly reduces complications Postmeal glucoses often not available for safe adjustment of fasting vs. prandial medications in patients with similar A1Cs Postprandial hyperglycemia (PPH) has been proven to independently contribute to diabetes complications Gimeno-Orna J, Castro-Alonso F, Boned-Juliani B, Lou-Arnal L.

7 Impact of Glycemic Variability, Glucose and A1C on Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) After Acute MI Mean Amplitude Glycemic Excursion (MAGE) > 70 mg/dL was more important than A1C or glucose in predicting 1-year MACE (MI, Death, Acute heart failure) after initial AMI G Su, et al., Impact of Admission Glycemic Variability, Glucose, and Glycosylated Hemoglobin on Major Adverse Cardiac Events After Acute Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes Care, January 2013 MAGE > 70 mg/dL MAGE < 70 mg/dL p=0.001 A1C > 6.5% A1C < 6.5% p=0.091 (NS)
