Achievement of Glycated Hemoglobin Goals in the US Remains Unchanged Through 2014

INTRODUCTION: Previous research has found that the percentage of US adults with diabetes achieving a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) target of 9.0% increased from 12.6% (95% CI 10.5-14.8%) to 15.5% (95% CI 12.9-18.2%). Achievement of individualized targets varied by age group and presence of comorbidities, but exhibited similar trends as general target achievement. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the development of many new medications to treat diabetes during the past decade, the proportion of patients achieving glycemic control targets has not improved.
