Factors Associated With Poor Glycemic Control or Wide Glycemic Variability Among Diabetes Patients in Hawaii, 2006–2009

Figure 1. Glycemic control related to age in patients with diabetes, unadjusted, Hawaii, 2006–2009. Good control indicated by an HbA1c of less than 7% for 3 years, and poor control indicated by an HbA1c higher than 9% for 3 years. Wide glycemic variability refers to patients who had a reduction in annual mean HbA1c from higher than 9% to less than 7%, followed by an increase to higher than 9%. Some variability refers to patients who did not meet criteria for the other 3 categories. Glycemic control differed significantly by age (P < .001, Pearson χ2 tests).

Figure 2. Glycemic control related to duration of diabetes in patients with diabetes, unadjusted, Hawaii, 2006–2009.
