Fifteen-year trends in diabetes drug management and control in French-speaking Switzerland.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Drug management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) should comply with established guidelines. Still, little is known about how drug management of T2D in Switzerland has evolved over time. We aimed at assessing 15-year trends in antidiabetic drug prescription and its effectiveness in reducing fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels.

Research design and methods

Data from the baseline (2003-2006) and three follow-ups (2009-2012, 2014-2017 and 2018-2021) of a population-based study conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. Participants treated for T2D were included. At baseline and the follow-ups, participants had their antidiabetic drugs collected, together with their FPG and glycated haemoglobin (HbA₁c) levels.

Results

There were 274, 280, 268 and 195 participants trea
