Relation between diabetic retinopathy and glycemic control

(A) Probability of developing retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes as a function of A1C level (%) at baseline and duration (years) of good metabolic control (A1C ≤6.87%).
(B) Probability of not developing retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes as a function of A1C level (%) at baseline and duration (years) of poor metabolic control (A1C ≥9.49%). In both cases, body mass index is assumed to be equal to 22 kg/m².

A1C: hemoglobin A1c.
