Trends in Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Early Glycemic Control Among Veterans Receiving Care in the Veterans Health Administration, 2008–2019
OBJECTIVE Racial/ethnic disparities in glycemic control among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) veterans with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been reported. This study examined trends in early glycemic control by race/ethnicity to understand how disparities soon after T2D diagnosis have changed between 2008 and 2019 among cohorts of U.S. veterans with newly diagnosed T2D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We estimated the annual percentage of early glycemic control (average A1C <7%) in the first 5 years after diagnosis among 837,023 veterans (95% male) with newly diagnosed T2D in primary care. We compared early glycemic control by racial/ethnic group among cohorts defined by diagnosis year (2008–2010, 2011–2013, 2014–2016, and 2017–2018) using mixed-effects models with random intercepts. We estimated odds ratios of early glycemic control comparing racial/ethnic groups with NHW, adjusting for age, sex, and years since diagnosis. RESULTS The average annual percentage of veterans who achieved early glycemic control during follow-up was 73%, 72%, 72%, and 76% across the four cohorts, respectively. All racial/ethnic groups were less likely to achieve early glycemic control compared with NHW veterans in the 2008–2010 cohort. In later cohorts, NHB and Hispanic veterans were more likely to achieve early glycemic control; however, Hispanic veterans were also more likely to have an A1C ≥9% within 5 years in all cohorts. Early glycemic control disparities for non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native veterans persisted in cohorts until the 2017–2018 cohort. CONCLUSIONS Overall early glycemic control trends among veterans with newly diagnosed T2D have been stable since 2008, but trends differed by racial/ethnic groups and disparities in very poor glycemic control were still observed. Efforts should continue to minimize disparities among racial/ethnic groups.
