Description
Grzegorz Jakubiak and co-authors examined whether blood sugar history, measured by glycated hemoglobin, tracks with silent artery disease in people without diabetes, in a 2026 study. Diabetes is a known heart risk, but the marker's value below the diabetic range was unclear. The team reviewed records of 59 hospital patients in Poland.
Each patient had the marker measured, along with central blood pressure, artery stiffness by pulse wave speed, and ultrasound scans of neck and leg arteries. The team then related sugar levels to plaque presence, its severity, and vessel wall thickness. The study probes whether a routine lab value can flag early vascular change before symptoms appear.
