This study aimed to investigate the association between visit-to-visit glycaemic variability and minor and major LEA risks during 8 years of follow-up in type 2 diabetic individuals aged 50 years and older.enGlycaemic variability; Lower extremity amputation; Type 2 diabetes[SDGs]SDG3Association between glucose variation and lower extremity amputation incidence in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a nationwide retrospective cohort studyjournal article10.1007/s00125-019-05012-7316861182-s2.0-85074818792https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85074818792
