This study aimed to evaluate whether non-T2DM and its duration and metabolic control predict CHD events.1

The graph looks at CHD incidence, stratified by HbA1c levels.1

The study found that subjects with an HbA1c of <6% had fewer CHD events and much lower CHD mortality, providing rationale for aggressive glucose lowering.1
