1580-P: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Trajectories of Youth with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) over 10 Years Postdiagnosis from Three Continents

Distinct HbA1c trajectories have previously been identified in youth with established T1D. We used data from 3 international registries to evaluate whether distinct HbA1c trajectories occur from T1D onset. Participants were 8.0%, and ∼11% had values that began in or near target but then increased. Only ∼5% of youth were suboptimal from diagnosis with an increasing HbA1c. This group differed from others with higher rates of minority status and older age at diagnosis across all 3 registries (p≤0.001). We observed similar post-diagnostic HbA1c patterns across 3 international registries. Identifying youth at greatest risk for deterioration in HbA1c over time may allow clinicians to intervene early to avert increasing HbA1c.
