To investigate the impact of glycaemic control on infection incidence in people with Type 2 diabetes.

We compared infection rates during 2014 in people with Type 2 diabetes and people without diabetes in a large primary care cohort in the UK (the Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre database). We performed multilevel logistic regression to investigate the impact of Type 2 diabetes on presentation with infection, and the effect of glycaemic control on presentation with upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, influenza‐like illness, pneumonia, intestinal infectious diseases, herpes simplex, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and genital and perineal infections. People with Type 2 diabetes were stratified by good [HbA_1c < 53 mmol/mol (< 7%)], moderate [HbA_1c 53–69 mmol/mol (7–8.5%)] and poor [HbA_1c > 69 mmol/mol (> 8.5%)] glycaemic …
