[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2264373, member: 518059"] I am only quoting the numbers from the paper. I found this result surprising, too, but the ratio of deaths over number of people diagnosed with HbA1c < 48 mmol/l is indeed larger than for people with HbA1c in the range 49 and 53 mmol/l The paper does not say anything about this, which I found strange, too. As an aside, there is a similar effect for BMI where the risk is lower for the range 25 - 29 than for BMI < 25. Here the paper makes comments: "In this population of people with diabetes, there was a U- shaped relationship with body mass index." "The higher risk seen in people with lower BMI could be linked to the effect of confounding by factors that are associated with weight loss which have either not been considered in our analysis."
