The different methods of assessing glycemic variability, quality of glycemic control and glycemic risk cannot be interpreted as equivalent in clinical practice

The present study demonstrates that the concordance between the clinical interpretation of the different GV, QGC and GR indices is poor, suggesting that they cannot be assumed as equivalent, so different indices evaluating different concepts, must be evaluated simultaneously to analyze adequately each patient. New studies are needed to evaluate which of the methods better predicts hypoglycemia and microvascular or macrovascular complications.
