Cardiovascular risk factor management in patients with diabetes: Does management differ with disease duration?

Our objective was to examine risk factor modification targets and treatment in relation to duration of diabetes. The Diabetes Mellitus Status in Canada (DM-SCAN) study collected data on 5109 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in 2012 in primary care. We compared the prevalence of vascular...

Zusammenfassung:Our objective was to examine risk factor modification targets and treatment in relation to duration of diabetes. The Diabetes Mellitus Status in Canada (DM-SCAN) study collected data on 5109 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in 2012 in primary care. We compared the prevalence of vascular complications, treatment targets, and interventions between patients with diagnosed diabetes duration ≤10 and > 10 years. Physicians more frequently assigned HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) targets of 7.1–8.5% (54–69 mmol/mol) to patients with longer duration of diabetes (n = 1647) (19.8% vs 9.5%, p
