Trends in cardiovascular risk factor management in type 1 diabetes by sex.
Journal of Diabetes and its Complications 2018 April
AIMS: DCCT showed that intensive type 1 diabetes management reduces complication incidence but did not focus on other cardiovascular disease risk factors, whose control in type 1 diabetes has not been well-studied. We assessed trends in cardiovascular risk factors in type 1 diabetes and attainment of concurrent American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines/recommendations (for HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) for complication prevention.
METHODS: Individuals with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (n = 658; 49.4% women; baseline (1986-1988) median age 27 and duration 19 years) were followed biennially for up to 25 years, with surveys and/or examinations.
RESULTS: At the latest recorded follow-up, achievement of concurrent ADA recommendations increased for HbA1c (from 9.7 to 25.6%, p < .0001); was unchanged for blood pressure (from 89.7% to 87.4%, p = .36); and decreased for LDL cholesterol (from 62.3 to 39.7%, p < .0001). Adoption of intensive insulin therapy (from 5.9 to 64.4%, p < .0001) and hypercholesterolemia (from 67.3 to 78.9%, p = .0006) also increased. Overall, the proportion meeting all four recommendations was essentially unaltered (from 6.8% to 7.6%) (p = .69). Results were similar by gender.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the adoption of intensive insulin therapy and obtaining ADA HbA1c recommendations are increasing, overall cardiovascular risk factor compliance remains low and merits further intervention.
