Thresholds for postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia associated with increased mortality risk in type 2 diabetes patients: A real-world longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

To identify thresholds for postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia predictive of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Materials and methods

A total of 1,928 patients with type 2 diabetes visited our clinic for the first time from 1995 to 1999 and were followed up for ≥1 year. During the first year, 2-h post-breakfast blood glucose (2h-BG) levels were measured in 1,122 patients (BG cohort) and postprandial serum triglyceride (ppTG) levels were measured in 1,826 patients (TG cohort). Patients were retrospectively followed until 2017 and administered questionnaires. Associations between 2h-BG and ppTG levels and mortality risk were assessed by the multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Results

Over of 17,429 person-years, 162
