350 Effects of GLP-1 Agonist on Pediatric Populations in a Real-World Setting

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Compare metabolic health of type 2 diabetics on GLP-1 to those on traditional therapy METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Outcomes of interest of this study include analyzing GLP-1 agonists on overall metabolic health, focusing primarily on weight loss and ability to wane off insulin without rebounding metabolic health. The data will be collected in a retrospective chart review from medical records of type II diabetics from Children’s of Alabama and will follow patients over two years. The charts have been narrowed to those patients prescribed GLP-1 agonists who have been on the medication for at least one year with consistent visits to the endocrinology clinic.The following data will be collected from the charts:race/ethnicity, date of visit, BMI/weight, A1C, insulin therapy, lipids, LFTs (AST/ALT), and insurance coverage RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: With these results, we hope to study the metabolic health effects of GLP-1 agonists on type II diabetes in the pediatric population. It is known that obesity is a risk factor for type II diabetes, and that GLP-1 agonists aid in weight-loss in adults. Further research is needed to see the real world health effects, and with these results we hope to assess if GLP-1 agonist have an affect on metabolic health within the pediatric population by collecting data on values aforementioned. We also hope to compare and contrast the different GLP-1 agonists being used based on adherence, insurance coverage, adverse effects, and patient preference. Currently, only Liraglutide and Exetanide are approved for pediatric type II diabetics. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Insulin use can lead to weight gain; metformin does not aidin weight reductions. If GLP-1 agonists aid in weight loss, it could potentially help slow complications of diabetes in the pediatric population. B-cell function in children declines more rapidly; and, as a result, insulin resistance occurs more rapidly.
