Utility of different glycemic control metrics for optimizing management of diabetes

Table 2 Linear regression relating hypoglycemia as dependent variable with measures of glycemic control as independent variables in type 2 diabetes

Asymptomatic hypoglycemia	Measure	R²	P value
Time (h/d) spent	GRADEHYPO	0.734	< 0.001
< 3.9 mmol/L	LBGI	0.471	< 0.001
	% CV	0.293	< 0.001
	HbA1c	0.048	0.02

Data analyzed from 114 patients treated with diet and oral antidiabetic drugs. GRADE_HYPO: Glycemic risk assessment diabetes equation hypoglycemia; LBGI: Low blood glucose index; %CV: Percent coefficient of variation (Kohnert et al, Unpublished data).
