Glycemic control and lipid outcomes in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in children has increased dramatically. However, limited published information is known about the glycemic control and lipid outcomes in pediatric T2DM outside of clinical trials. OBJECTIVES:To determine the glycemic control and lipid measure outcomes at one and three- year follow-up in children with T2DM. METHODS:A retrospective electronic medical record review of children with T2DM at the Children's Hospital of Alabama over a 12-year period. RESULTS:There were 301 patients with a diagnosis of T2DM who had a 1-year follow-up visit, of which 184 also had a 3-year follow-up. Most patients (78%) received either insulin with metformin or insulin alone at diagnosis. At one year, 37% of the cohort achieved 'optimal glycemic control' (HbA1C ≤6.5
