“Most commonly people are told that having an A1c of 5.6 – 5.8% should be considered normal, but these levels already put you in the second highest category for brain shrinkage! I believe that, based on this information, we should strive to keep our A1c at 5.2 or even lower,”writes...
Consequently, the present study analyzed the correlation between HbA1c levels and HL using a large-scale study using clinical data from a tertiary hospital.
