Implication

Retrospective cross-sectional study evaluates glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients receiving different antidiabetic treatments, suggesting early management importance.

Key Points

The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between type of antidiabetic treatment and glycemic control in T2DM patients.
Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 995 T2DM patients at a specialized center.
Patients were grouped by treatment type: oral antidiabetic therapy and combined insulin plus oral.
Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were used to assess associations between treatments and glycemic control.
19.3% of patients achieved glycemic control overall, with 22.1% in the oral therapy group and 9.3% in the combined therapy group.
Oral antidiabetic therapy was associated with higher odds of glycemic control (OR=2.35; 95% CI: 1.41-3.93; p=0.001).
Longer diabetes duration negatively impacted glycemic control, while BMI was not significantly associated.
