Core Tip Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a well-established marker of chronic glycemia and a predictor of cardiovascular risk in diabetes, yet its role as a therapeutic target for reducing cardiovascular events is increasingly nuanced. Evidence from landmark trials highlights both the benefits of early glycemic control and the limitations of intensive HbA1c reduction in advanced disease. Glycemic variability and emerging cardioprotective therapies further challenge HbA1c-centric paradigms. Clinicians should interpret HbA1c within a broader cardiometabolic framework, integrating patient-specific factors and adjunctive risk modifiers to optimize outcomes. A shift from glucose-centric to outcome-driven strategies is essential for contemporary diabetes care.
