So a diabetic with an A1c of 5.6 has a 14 percent higher risk (within the time period they studied - 5 years?). An A1c of 6.6 = 30 percent higher (note the compound-interest effect), A1c 6.7 = 48 percent. <BR/><BR/>The question is, does a diabetic with an A1c of 4.6 run the same risk of CHD as a non-diabetic.
