HbA1c 7.8 1.5 14.1 years TIR 52.7 25 (N=139). overall population 20.0 (280/1399) majority ( 86.5 Mild Moderate Non-Proliferative stages. 12.7 24.8 respectively. Subjects were significantly older longer while older, duration, higher Systolic BP, urinary albumin/Creatinine ratio( UACR) lower estimated GFR. Logistic regression showed subjects, glucose variability independently while, UACR subjects. Conclusion: In 20 %.
