To Evaluate the Role of HbA1C as a Predictor for the Development of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetic Patients By Dr. Sushant Duddala, Arghadip Das, Shaibesh M Shrestha, Dr. Snigdha Shanti Cheela, Dr. Himani J Suthar, Dr. Vinodh Boopalraj & Irshan Ali Mohammed Abstract- Aim: The aim of this study to evaluate the role of HbA1C as a predictor for the development of diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetic patients. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out by involving 120 patients. The ‘‘fluctuations” in HbA1C over time was assessed. HbA1Cfluctuation was defined as an increase in HbA1C of more than 2% between two consecutive measurements, or an increase of more than 1% at 2 points in time. Keywords: type 1 diabetic, diabetic nephropathy, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C).

There were no significant group differences in the ‘‘age at onset of diabetes” or ‘‘time period from the onset of diabetes till admission to the chronic care center” (p = 0.48 and p = 0.81, respectively). The association between fluctuations in HbA1C and diabetic nephropathy is shown in Table 1.
