Blood glucose variability, defined as variations in blood glucose levels over time, is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in the pathology of diabetes complications. While chronic hyperglycemia has been linked to microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease), emerging evidence suggests that glucose variability is an independent risk factor for these conditions. This review examined the relationship between blood glucose variability and the development of microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetes, highlighting the underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic approaches.
