Low-moderate alcohol use effects on glycemic control of patients presenting in the ED
Alcohol use, even at moderate levels (AUDIT-C = 1), was associated with higher glucose and HbA1c levels in patients with DM2, particularly among African-American and Asian-American populations. These findings suggest the need for substance use interventions at lower AUDIT-C thresholds and further considerations to mitigate future risk in this population.
