Abstract

AIMS: In the context of changes in the last 10 years in treatment strategies for type 1 diabetes we evaluated longitudinal trends in cardiometabolic risk factor profiles in a population from North-West England. METHODS: We retrospectively examined longitudinal case records for the period for 291 adult patients followed up between 2004 and 2009 (age range 16-85). Data search was performed through the EMIS® software provider using data held in primary care. RESULTS: Longitudinal analysis of individually followed patients indicated a mean 0.4% reduction in HbA1c from 8.3% (67 mmol/mol) at baseline (p=0.002). The proportion of patients with an HbA1c ≥10% (86 mmol/mol) at baseline had a significant reduction over time from 14.0% to 9.5% (χ(2)=9.4, p=0.002). BMI remained unchanged (28.3 vs 28.4 kg/m(2)). However total cholesterol fell by 12.5% from 4.8mM to 4.2mM, (p
