This study aimed to clarify the clinical usefulness of MBBO for predicting the development of advanced diabetic microvascular complications.

MBBO was independently associated with advanced diabetic complications, while BMI on admission was not. Diabetic microvascular complications in patients with high MBBO could progress more rapidly. At the time of the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, MBBO would enable us to predict the progress of...
