Ten-year clinical characteristics of patients with early-onset type 2 diabetes: A single-center experience in China.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The incidence of type 2 diabetes in China has exhibited an increasing trend, including younger individuals, over the past years. Early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) refers to diabetes diagnosed before 40 years of age. These patients have poor metabolic control and are highly susceptible to diabetic complications, which poses challenges for treatment. However, few studies have reported on the treatment of EOT2D. We determined clinical features and trends in drug use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials and methods

This retrospective study was performed at the Endocrinology Ward, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). "Diabetes" was used when searching PUMCH's Electronic Medical Record Analytical Database to obtain clinical data of patients
