Abstract
Background: We aimed to examine trends in diabetes control in Hong Kong between 2000 and 2019. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 360,202 people aged 20 years or older with type 2 diabetes who underwent a territory-wide Risk Assessment and Management Programme-Diabetes Mellitus (RAMP-DM) in primary and secondary settings in Hong Kong between 2000 and 2019. We examined trends in proportion of people with type 2 diabetes achieving target of glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] <7.0%), blood-pressure control (systolic/diastolic blood pressures [SBP/DBP] <140/90 mm Hg), and lipid control (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] <130 mg/dl). Results: The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes who achieved HbA1c <7.0% increased from 40.3% (95% CI: 35.6%, 50.0%) in 2000 to 55.2% (54.4%, 56.0%) in 2014 and then leveled off thereafter. After improvements in blood-pressure control from 2000 to 2014, the proportion of people in whom blood pressure was achieved to below 140/90 mm Hg declined from 71.0% (70.4%, 71.6%) in 2014 to 63.5% (62.8%, 64.2%) in 2019. From 2000 to 2019, the proportion of people with LDL-C <130 mg/dl continued to increase from 32.6% (27.6%, 37.6%) to 59.9% (59.2%, 60.6%). The proportion of people in whom all three targets were simultaneously achieved increased from 9.5% (3.8%, 15.3%) in 2000 to 23.1% (22.1%, 24.1%) in 2014 and plateaued from 2014 to 2019. Conclusions: After major improvements from 2000 to 2014, glycemic control stalled and blood-pressure control declined in people with type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong, while there was a continued encouraging trend in lipid control.
