Popis: We investigated racial variation in glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) with fracture risk in geriatric patients with diabetes. Compared to an HbA1c of 7.0-7.9% [53-63 mmol/mol], HbA1c ≥9.0% [≥75 mmol/mol] was associated with increased fracture risk among Blacks and those of Unknown race only. This increase was attenuated in Blacks after accounting for the relative frequency of patient-provider interaction.
