The interrelationship of HbA1c and real-time continuous glucose monitoring in children with type 1 diabetes

The results confirmed the well-known positive association of HbA1c with the central tendency of glucose level. The non-monotonic relationship between HbA1c and the indicators of the central tendency of glucose level might be caused by the changed adherence of the patients during the period of CGM. HbA1c's positive association with MAGE without non-monotonicity underlines MAGE's usefulness in the reliable assessment of the patients' glycemic state.
