Four‐year HbA1c and LDL‐cholesterol trajectories among individuals with mental disorders and newly developed type 2 diabetes

Abstract The impact of different types of mental disorders on long‐term glycemic and lipid trajectories following newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unknown. We used real‐world clinical data in a population‐based cohort to fill this knowledge gap. We found that individuals with new T2D and preexisting personality, anxiety, unipolar depression, or psychotic disorder had higher mean HbA1c levels over 4 years following the onset of T2D, whereas no differences were found regarding LDL‐C levels. This knowledge should be considered in the management of T2D in these vulnerable groups.
