Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The quality of HbA1c influences micronuclei formation in binucleated cells | Baseline | In this cross-sectional study the micronuclei formation in binucleated lymphocytes (Number of micronuclei/1000 binucleated cells) is compared between a low (HbA1c\<7.5%) and a high (HbA1c\>7.5%) glycemic group |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 diabetes duration of the subjects influences chromosomal damage | Baseline | The micronuclei formation in binucleated lymphocytes (Number of micronuclei/1000 binucleated cells) is associated with the duration of the Typ 2 diabetes disease. |
