Abstract

Objective: The associated risk of vascular disease following diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in people previously identified as having pre-diabetes in real-world settings is unknown. We examined the presence of microvascular and macrovascular disease in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes by glycemic status within 3 years before diagnosis. Research design and methods: We identified 159 736 individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink database in England between 2004 and 2017. We used logistic regression models to compare presence of microvascular (retinopathy and nephropathy) and macrovascular (acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular and peripheral arterial disease) disease at the time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis by prior glycemic status. Results: Half of the study population (49.9%) had at least one vascular disease, over one-third (37.4%) had microvascular disease, and almost a quarter (23.5%) had a diagnosed macrovascular disease at the time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Compared with individuals with glycemic values within the normal range, those detected with pre-diabetes before the diagnosis had 76% and 14% increased odds of retinopathy and nephropathy (retinopathy: adjusted OR (AOR) 1.76, 95% CI 1.69 to 1.85; nephropathy: AOR 1.14, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.19), and 7% higher odds of the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.12) in fully adjusted models at time of diabetes diagnosis. Conclusions: Microvascular and macrovascular diseases are detected in 37%–24% of people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetes before diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is associated with increased odds of microvascular disease and acute coronary syndrome. Detection of pre-diabetes might represent an opportunity for reducing the burden of microvascular and macrovascular disease through heightened attention to screening for vascular complications.

Figures

Figure 1 Prevalence of microvascular (retinopathy and nephropathy) and macrovascular (acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease) diseases present at time of the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes according to glycemic status in the 3 years before the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. A microvascular disease was considered being present at time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis if the condition was diagnosed between 5 years before and 15 months after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. A macrovascular disease was considered being present at time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis if the condition was diagnosed any time before the diagnosis and during the year following the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. For the detection of pre-diabetes, the WHO/International Expert Committee diagnostic criteria were adopted (FPG: 6.1–6.9 mmol/L, OGTT 7.8–11.1 mmol/L, HbA1c 42 to 47 mmol/mol or 6.0%–6.4%). FPG, fasting plasma glucose; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; T2D, type 2 diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
