title: Parameters of glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis: implications for clinical practice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To better explore the relationship between parameters of glycemic control of T2DM in RRT, we studied 23 patients on hemodialysis (HD), 22 on peritoneal dialysis (PD), and compared them with 24 T2DM patients with normal renal function (NRF).
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed, on four consecutive days, 10 assessments of capillary blood glucose [4 fasting, 2 pre- and 4 postprandial (post-G) and average (AG)], random glycemia, and HbA1c in all patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Preprandial blood glucose was greater in patients on RRT compared with NRF. Correlations between AG and HbA1c were 0.76 for HD, 0.66 for PD, and 0.82 for NRF. The regression lines between AG and HbA1c were similar for patients on HD and with NFR, but they were displaced upward for PD.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Similar HbA1c values in PD patients may correspond to greater levels of AG than in HD or NRF patients.
