Overview

Retrospective audit assesses cardiometabolic care and pharmacotherapy in Aboriginal Australians with type 2 diabetes, highlighting gaps.

Key Points

  • A total of 274 Aboriginal patients with type 2 diabetes were evaluated, with 42% showing nephropathy.
  • Only 26% of HbA1c results met the target of <7%, indicating a need for improvement in diabetes management.
  • Pharmacotherapy prescription rates were low, with only 50% receiving statins and 20% on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors.
  • The average age of diabetes diagnosis was 44 years, illustrating the prevalence of early onset of type 2 diabetes in this population.
