Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe recent medication patterns and changes in medication patterns and glycemic control in adolescents and young adults with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). Using data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of treatments for adolescents and young adults with incident T2D in 2 periods (2002-2005 vs 2008/2012), and a longitudinal analysis of medications and glycemic control for a subset with baseline and follow-up visits. Comparisons were performed using χ2 , Fisher's exact, or ANOVA. Of 646 individuals in the cross-sectional analysis, a majority in each period received metformin (64.9% vs 70.4%) and/or insulin (38.1% vs 38.4%), while fewer used sulfonylureas (5.6% vs 3.6%) with non-significant changes over time. There was a significant reduction in thiazolidinedione use (5.0% vs 2.0%, P < .05). In the longitudinal analysis, 322 participants were followed for 7 years, on average. Baseline metformin users had a lower A1C (6.4% [46.7 mmol/mol]) compared to insulin (8.4% [68.2 mmol/mol], P < .001) or insulin plus any oral diabetes medication (ODM) users (7.7% [60.4 mmol/mol], P < .001). Among baseline metformin users (n = 138), 29.7% reported metformin at...Continue Reading
