Metabolic adaptation
A minimum study duration and a minimum gain in HbA1c reduction are necessary to drive a relevant risk reduction in CVD risk.
Clinical interventions should focus on achieving significant HbA1c reductions over adequate durations to effectively reduce cardiovascular risk.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The results suggest that a minimum study duration and a minimum gain in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction are necessary to drive a relevant risk reduction in CVD risk.
Why this rating
The claim is based on analysis of randomized controlled trials.
