OBJECTIVE: Using a new database combining primary and specialty care electronic medical record (EMR) data in Canada, we determined attainment of glycemic targets and associated predictors among adults with diabetes.

METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study combining primary and specialty care EMR data in Canada. Adults with diabetes whose primary care provider contributed to the National Diabetes Repository or who were assessed at a diabetes specialty clinic (LMC Diabetes and Endocrinology) between July 3, 2015, and June 30, 2019, were included. Diabetes type was categorized as type 2 diabetes (T2D) not prescribed insulin, T2D prescribed insulin, and type 1 diabetes (T1D). Covariates were age, sex, income quintile, province, rural/urban location, estimated glomerular filtration rate, medications, and insulin pump use. Associations between predictors and the outcome (glycated hemoglobin [A1C] of ≤7.0%) were assessed by multivariable logistic regressions.

RESULTS: Among 122,106 adults, consisting of 91,366 with T2D not prescribed insulin, 25,131 with T2D prescribed insulin, and 5,609 with T1D, attainment of an A1C of ≤7.0% was 60%, 25%, and 23%, respectively. Proportions with an A1C of ≤7.5% and ≤8.0% were 75% and 84% for those with T2D not prescribed insulin, 41% and 57% for those with T2D prescribed insulin, and 37% and 53% for those with T1D. Highest vs lowest income quintile was associated with greater odds of meeting the A1C target (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] for each diabetes category: 1.15 [1.10 to 1.21], 1.21 [1.10 to 1.33], and 1.29 [1.04 to 1.60], respectively). Individuals in Alberta and Manitoba had less antihyperglycemic medication use and attainment of A1C target than other provinces.

CONCLUSIONS: Attainment of glycemic targets among adults with diabetes was poor and differed by income and geographic location, which must be addressed in national diabetes strategies.
