Initial glycemic control and care among younger adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
Diabetes Care Mar 12, 2020
Gopalan A, Mishra P, Alexeeff SE, et al. - Considering the enduring benefits of early glycemic control, researchers sought to contrast glycemic control and initial care between adults with younger onset (21–44 years) and midage onset (45–64 years) of type 2 diabetes. Thirty-two thousand one hundred thirty-seven adults (aged 21–64 years) with incident diabetes (first HbA1c ≥6.5% [≥48 mmol/mol]) were identified using data from a large, integrated health care system. Of identified people, 26.4% had younger-onset and 73.6% had midage-onset type 2 diabetes. According to findings, adults with onset of type 2 diabetes at a younger age were less likely to achieve glycemic control within 1 year of diagnosis, reflecting the need for tailored care approaches to improve outcomes for this high-risk patient population.
