Mortality and key glycemic characteristics of each BMI group, conditional on HbA1c levels. HbA1c levels modulated the relationship of BMI and glycemic outcomes and mortality. For diabetic patients, higher BMI was associated with lower average glucose (a), lower rate of hypoglycemia (c) and lower glucose variability (d). There was no clear association of BMI with mortality in the different HbA1c groups (b)
