Association of Glycaemia Risk Index With Indices of Atherosclerosis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study determined the association of the glycaemia risk index (GRI), a novel comprehensive metric derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

We evaluated the relationship between GRI and intima-media thickness (IMT), gray-scale median (GSM), tissue characteristics of the carotid artery wall, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), using baseline data from a multicenter prospective cohort study of 1000 Japanese patients with T2DM free of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Results

The study subjects were 999 patients (age: 64.6 ± 9.6 years, mean ± SD, 60.9% males, body mass index: 24.6 ± 3.9 kg/m², HbA1c 7.1% ± 0.8%, TIR 78.9% ± 18.6%) with T2DM (duration of 12.9 ± 8.5 yea
