Objectives: The relationship between hyperglycemia and mortality is altered by the presence of diabetes mellitus. Biological adjustment to preexisting hyperglycemia might explain this phenomenon. We tested whether the degree of preexisting hyperglycemia would modulate the association between glycemia and outcome during critical illness in patients with diabetes mellitus.Design: Retrospective observational study.Setting: Two tertiary intensive care units.Patients: Four hundred fifteen critically ill diabetic patients with HbA1c levels measured within 3 months of intensive care unit admission.Interventions: None.Measurements and Main Results: There were 9,946 blood glucose measurements in this study cohort (glucose measured 6.7 times per day; every 3.6 hrs on average). The median preadmission HbA1c level was 7.0%. There was no significant difference in HbA1c levels (p = .17) or time-weighted average of blood glucose concentrations (p = .49) between survivors and nonsurvivors. The time-weighted average of blood glucose concentrations during intensive care unit stay for nonsurvivors was lower than that of survivors when the HbA1c was >6.8%. In multivariate analysis, we found that there was a significant interaction between HbA1c and the time-weighted glucose level, indicating that the relationship between HbA1c and mortality changed according to the levels of time-weighted average of blood glucose concentrations (p = .008). As a consequence, in patients with higher (>7%) preadmission levels of HbA1c, the higher the time-weighted acute glucose concentration during intensive care unit stay (>10 mmol/L), the lower the hospital mortality compared with the lower HbA1c cohort (
