Nathan et al. (7) provide compelling data to suggest the combination of glycated albumin and HbA1c strengthens the association with microvascular end points such as nephropathy (e.g., albuminuria) and retinopathy (e.g., nonproliferative retinopathy). The strength of this association was stronger than that for CVD and implies that a glycemic staging system may be especially useful for understanding diabetes microvascular disease progression such as kidney and eye disease.
