We examined the effects of variability in fasting plasma glucose on peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).Patients and Methods: In this screening study for the risk factors of PAD, we retrospectively collected data on the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and the percentage of mean arterial pressure (%MAP) at the ankle between August 01, 2016 and July 31, 2017. We defined low ABI ≤ 0.90, high %MAP ≥ 45%, or both as high-risk PAD and others as low-risk PAD. We compared the standard deviation (SD) of the first fasting plasma glucose data available each year after January 01, 2007.Results: In 2577 patients, a higher SD of annual fasting glucose was observed in those with an ABI ≤ 0.90 than in patients with an ABI > 0.90 (2.6 ± 2.1 vs 2.2 ± 2.3, P = 0.009), and in patients with %MAP ≥ 45% than in those with %MAP < 45% (2.4 ± 2.1 vs 2.2 ± 2.3, P = 0.034). A high-risk PAD was significantly associated with the SD (P = 0.032) but not with the mean (P = 0.338) of annual fasting glucose. The former was an independent risk factor for high-risk PAD (odds ratio = 1.424; 95% CI = 1.118‒1.814; P = 0.004).Conclusion: Variability but not mean of annual fasting plasma glucose was significantly associated with a high risk of PAD in patients with DM.Keywords: ankle-brachial index, arterial stiffness, lower extremity arterial disease, percentage of the mean arterial pressure, standard deviation
