title: Fasting plasma glucose variability as a marker of nocturnal hypoglycemia in diabetes: evidence from the PREDICTIVE study.
abstract: The relationship between fasting glucose (FG) variability and nocturnal hypoglycemia was assessed using longitudinal data from PREDICTIVE, the large-scale observational study of insulin detemir. An HbA(1c)-corrected correlation was found between these endpoints, suggesting FG variability can serve as a useful marker for this risk in clinical practice.
