Stepwise escalation of glucose-lowering therapy to more intensive regimens is an integral component of type 2 diabetes management (1). Early blood glucose control is associated with beneficial effects on long-term micro- and macrovascular outcomes (2). Understanding factors associated with time to therapy escalation following an elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) may inform interventions to facilitate timely control. We used linked real-world data to examine time to therapy escalation following a recorded HbA1c ≥8.0% (64 mmol/mol) and associated factors.
