Overview

May support closer BP monitoring in Afro-Caribbean T2DM patients; hypothesis-generating for ethnicity-tailored risk stratification.

Structured PICO

Do glycemic control, lipid profiles, and blood pressure differ by ethnicity during the first 9 years of type 2 diabetes treatment?

P
Population
2,999 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients recruited to the U.K. Prospective Diabetes Study (2,484 white Caucasian, 265 Afro-Caribbean, 250 Asian of Indian origin) whose fasting plasma glucose levels remained >6 mmol/l after a dietary run-in
I
Intervention
Afro-Caribbean or Asian of Indian origin ethnicity
C
Comparator
White Caucasian ethnicity
O
Outcome
Changes in glycemic control (fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c), lipid profiles, and blood pressuresurrogate

Ethnicity does not significantly affect glycemic control over 9 years in type 2 diabetes, but Afro-Caribbean patients develop more hypertension while maintaining more favorable lipid profiles compared to White Caucasian and Indian Asian patients.
