The Hidden Threat: How Glucose Fluctuations Reprogram Immune Cells and Accelerate Type 2 Diabetes Complications Independent of Average Blood Sugar
Identical HbA1c values mask dramatically different disease trajectories. This groundbreaking analysis reveals how glycemic variability—not just average glucose—drives pro-inflammatory T-cell expansion, suppresses protective regulatory T-cells, and triggers oxidative stress through mechanisms invisible to conventional monitoring. Continuous glucose monitoring now exposes these hidden immune dangers, demanding a fundamental shift toward precision diabetes care that targets glucose…
