Glycemic control, therapy trends, and diabetes complications were evaluated in LANDMARC — a prospective observational 3-year (y) study (CTRI/2017/05/008452) of participants with T2D on ≥2 antihyperglycemic medications. This sub-analysis of 135 sites in South India (Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Kerala, and Vijayawada) included 2354 participants (mean SD baseline BL age: 51.4 9.2 y, T2D duration: 8.4 5.5 y and A1C: 8.1% 1.6). At BL, most were insulin-naïve (n=1665; 70.8%), mainly on OADs (n=1638; 69.6%). At 3 y, 1149 (57.8%) participants were on OADs only, while 806 (40.5%) were on insulin + OADs. Biguanides was the most prescribed drug class (BL: 2184/2353 92.8% and 3 y: 1853/1988 93.2%). Basal insulin usage increased from BL (n=335; 14.2%) to 3 y (n=465; 23.4%). A decrease in mean (SD) A1C (-0.6 1.7 %), FPG (-18.0 60.3 mg/dL), and PPG (-30.3 81.5 mg/dL); and an increase in those with A1C7% (BL: 414 24.5%; 3 y: 440 30.1%), was noted. MI and neuropathy were the most common macro and microvascular complications, respectively (Table). The rate of microvascular complications (n, %) was highest in South India (519, 22.1%) vs. West (252, 18.8%), North (243, 14.4%) and East (107, 12.7%) at 3 y. Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common CV risk factors. There is need to further evaluate diabetes management strategies employed in South India to achieve optimal glycemic control.
