%X In diabetes, poor glycaemic control is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. The relationship between glycaemic control and chronic heart failure (CHF) is less well defined. There is controversy regarding the importance of glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes©\mellitus (T2DM) and CHF with recent evidence suggesting that tight glycaemic control may be associated with worse survival. This study examined the relationship between HbA1c and the risk of incident CHF and examine the relationship between HbA1c and outcome in T2DM with established CHF using a population database.
