Abstract

We studied the glycaemic threshold and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in screen-detected diabetes in Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Portugal. The prevalence of diabetes-specific retinopathy started to increase at an HbA_1c level of 6-6.4% (42-47mmol/mol) and in individuals with HbA_1c >7.0% the prevalence was 6.0%.
