Abstract
The proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes who achieve their glycemic goals remains low. We examined medical records and A1C results from patient visits to our referral diabetes center between 21 March to 20 July 2018. After stratifying patients into four groups—monotherapy, dual therapy, triple therapy, or insulin therapy—we found that the target A1C of ≤7.0% was achieved by 86% of patients and that A1C was uniformly low across the treatment categories. Our individualized approach, which included high use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and low use of sulfonylureas, may have contributed to these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
