Description:Objective:
To compare treatment regimens and glycosylated haemoglobin (A1c) levels in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) using diabetes registries from two countries – SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth (SEARCH) in the U.S. and the Registry of People with Diabetes with Youth Age at Onset (YDR) in India.
Methods:
The SEARCH and YDR data were harmonized to the structure and terminology in the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (v5). Data used in the analyses were from youth with physician-diagnosed T1D and T2D between 2006-2012 for YDR, and 2006, 2008 & 2012 for SEARCH and were <20 years at the time of diagnosis. We compared diabetes treatment regimens and A1c levels across the two registries.
Results:
We included 4,003 T1D (SEARCH=1,899; YDR=2,104) and 611 T2D (SEARCH =384; YDR=227) youth for this analysis. The mean A1c was higher in YDR compared to SEARCH (T1D: 11.0 ± 2.9 vs. 7.8 ± 1.7%, p<0.001; T2D: 9.9 ± 2.8 vs. 7.2 ± 2.1%, p<0.001). Among T1D youth in SEARCH, 65.1% were on a basal/bolus regimen, whereas in YDR, 52.8% were on once/twice daily insulin regimen. Insulin pumps were used by 16.2% of SEARCH and 1.5% of YDR youth with T1D. Among T2D youth, a majority were on metformin only, followed by insulin+any oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin only in both SEARCH and YDR.
Conclusion:
Efforts to achieve better glycemic control for both T1D and T2D youth are urgently needed in order to reduce the risk of long term complications.
