Divergent impacts of glycemic control on mortality and complications in patients with early-versus late-onset type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort study

Optimal glycemic control was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, diabetes-related mortality, retinopathy, and CKD in individuals with early-onset T2D; however, in individuals with late-onset T2D, this correlation was limited to lower risks of retinopathy and CKD. These findings suggest that glycemic control strategies should be tailored on the basis of the age of diabetes onset.
