Objective: To describe temporal trends in glycemic control in youth-onset diabetes. Methods: The study included 6399 SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth participants with diabetes >1 year. Visit data was categorized into 3 time periods: 2002-2007, 2008-2013, and 2014-2019 and 3 groups of diabetes duration: 1-4, 5-9, and 10+ years.

Stratified multivariable regression models were used to test differences in hemoglobin A1c (A1c) over time, adjusted for site, age, sex, race/ethnicity, health insurance status, and disease duration, both overall (with repeated measures) and for each duration group. Results: Estimated mean A1c among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) was different over the three periods with a higher mean A1c in 2014-2019 and 2008-2013 versus 2002-2007 (p
