Lifestyle and glycemic control in Japanese adults receiving diabetes treatment: An analysis of the 2009 Japan Society of Ningen Dock database

We investigated the level of glycemic control in 7020 patients treated with diabetes medications. We found that the overall mean HbA1c was 7.3% (56 mmol/mol). Over half had HbA1c levels ≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and poorer glycemic control was associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits.
