A total of 25% of patients with NPDR without DME had poor glycemic control (HbA1c levels of \u2265\u20099.0%). Similarly, 10% of PDR and 7% of NPDR with DME patients had good glycemic control (HbA1c levels \u2264\u20097.0%), despite their advanced eye disease. For patients with PDR, we identified significant independent associations with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, Hispanic ethnicity, duration of diabetes, and the use of insulin and beta\u2010blocker medications. In NPDR with DME patients, significant associations were noted with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, HbA1c, GFR, and beta\u2010blocker medications. The hemoglobin A1c level was not significantly associated with PDR but was significantly associated with NPDR with DME. The ROC curve analysis indicated poor predictability for the HbA1c model concerning the presence of PDR (AUC = 0.640) and NPDR with DME (AUC = 0.640).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that glycemic exposure alone is not a good enough predictor of DR progression.
