Complication development trajectories for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: evidence from a five-million retrospective cohort study
Patients with T2DM in China face a substantial and growing burden of complications, with most developing multiple complications within ten years of diagnosis. Follow-up visits, the use of PHC services, and regular medication adherence are potential protective factors to prevent or delay the development of complication. These findings highlight the importance of integrated, community-based, and personalized management strategies to improve outcomes in T2DM populations.
