Study: blood sugar levels among diabetics declining

Credit: AP A new study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found  adults are not doing an effective job controlling blood sugar levels which cause diabetes. A co-author of the study, Elizabeth Selvin, a professor in the Bloomberg School’s Department of Epidemiology, studied two decades worth of government data involving 7,000 diabetic patients, ending in 2018. We had a peak of good glucose control in 2010, around 60%. Now we are back down to 50% of people with Type 2 diabetes with what we consider good glucose controls, Selvin told WBAL News Radio. Selvin said  the decline is due in part to the quality of diabetes control drugs, but she notes those drugs have improved over the last few years.

In a cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, the number of adults with diabetes achieving glycemic control a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) under 7% dropped in recent years, reported Elizabeth Selvin, PhD, MPH, of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, and colleagues. About 57% of adults were able to achieve glycemic control from 2007-2010, reaching peak levels, but this proportion dropped down to 50.5% by 2015-2018, the group wrote in the In 1999-2002, only 44% of adults had an HbA1c under 7%. This later rose to 56.7% in 2003-2006. After the peak in 2007-2010, the proportion of patients achieving an HbA1c under 7% slowly declined, dropping off to 51.8% in 2011-2014, and then further down in 2015-2018.
