Utility of different glycemic control metrics for optimizing management of diabetes

Figure 4 Glycemic Markers and Risk of Diabetic Complications. The solid lines show established relationships of the glycemic markers with microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications; dotted lines represent possible relations with glycemic variability. FPG: Fasting plasma glucose; PPG: Postprandial plasma glucose; HbA1c: Hemoglobin A1c; GA: Glycated albumin; 1,5 AG: 1,5 Anhydroglucitol; SD: Standard deviation of plasma glucose values; MAGE: Mean amplitude of glycemic excursions; CV: Coefficient of variation; ADRR: Average daily risk range; GRADE: Glycemic risk assessment diabetes equation.
