Text: In diabetic participants, a 1 % absolute rise in the updated GHb predicted future CV events (relative risk [RR] = 1. 07, 95 % CI 1. 01-1. 13 ; p = 0. 014), death (RR = 1. 12, 95 % CI 1. 05-1. 19 ; p = 0. 0004), heart failure (RR = 1. 20, 95 % CI 1. 08-1. 33 ; p = 0. 0008) and overt nephropathy (RR = 1. 26, 95 % CI 1. 17-1. 36 ; p < 0. 0001) after adjusting for age, sex, diabetes duration, blood pressure, WHR, hyperlipidaemia and ramipril.
