We conducted a retrospective, propensity-matched study of patients with type 2 diabetes that were not optimally controlled and seen within our health system from 2007-2016. We assessed differences in short term health outcomes for patients following an endocrinologist visit compared to a PCP visit. Patients seen by endocrinologists obtained HbA1c control at a faster rate (hazard ratio = 1.226; 95% confidence interval = 1.01 to 1.488) than those seen by a PCP. Furthermore, 34.5% and 29.5% of those treated by endocrinologists and PCPs, respectively, obtained HbA1c control by one year. Endocrinologists were more likely to prescribe a new medication class within 90 days than PCPs (14.1% versus 10.3%, respectively, = .043). There was no difference in the risk of hospitalization between groups; 24.4% and 24.1% of those treated by endocrinologists and PCPs, respectively, were hospitalized within one year. Patients treated by endocrinology specialists were more likely to achieve a target HbA1c of &lt;7% (53 mmol/mol) than those treated by PCPs in our health-care system. The performance difference may be partially explained by a higher rate of adding new classes of diabetes medications to the patient's pharmacologic regimens within 90 days by endocrinologists compared with PCPs. The long-term impact of these differences is unknown but has the potential to have an unfavorable impact on the health of the population. = American College of Physicians; = confidence interval; = Duke University Health System; = hemoglobin A1c; = hazard ratio; = primary care physician; = standard mean difference.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1530-891X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1934-2403</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4158/EP-2018-0405</identifier><identifier>PMID: 30720349</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Elsevier Limited</publisher><subject>Confidence intervals ; Diabetes ; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 ; Endocrinologists ; Endocrinology ; Glucose ; Glycated Hemoglobin A ; Goals ; Hemoglobin ; Humans ; Hypoglycemia ; Insulin ; Medical referrals ; Patients ; Primary care ; Primary Health Care ; Retrospective Studies ; Studies</subject><ispartof>Endocrine practice, 2019-05, Vol.25 (5), p.461-469</ispartof><rights>Copyright Allen Press Publishing Services May 2019</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c319t-61e81b4c1bcb78a0236b7a119fb7b0345faec6eca0b0132a7ee2f7da24283763</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c319t-61e81b4c1bcb78a0236b7a119fb7b0345faec6eca0b0132a7ee2f7da24283763</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/2236126608?pq-origsite=primo$$EHTML$$P50$$Gproquest$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>315,782,786,27933,27934,64394,64396,64398,72478</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30720349$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Setji, Tracy L</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Page, Courtney</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Pagidipati, Neha</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Goldstein, Benjamin A</creatorcontrib><title>DIFFERENCES IN ACHIEVING HBA1C GOALS AMONG PATIENTS SEEN BY ENDOCRINOLOGISTS AND PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS</title><title>Endocrine practice</title><addtitle>Endocr Pract</addtitle><description>This study evaluated whether there is a difference in the proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes who achieve a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) &lt;7% within one year following treatment by an endocrinologist or primary care physician (PCP).
