Multivariate analysis of factors associated with poor glycaemic control defined as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) >8.0%. ^†The plot shows odds ratios, adjusted for all variables in the figure, using a hierarchical logistic model as described in the methods. HbA1c is modelled as a dichotomous variable. ^‡Includes nephropathy (presence of chronic kidney disease and/or albuminuria), retinopathy (history of retinopathy or retinal laser photocoagulation), and neuropathy (autonomic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, and erectile dysfunction). ^§Includes coronary artery disease (history of coronary artery disease, angina, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass grafting), cerebrovascular disease (stroke, transient ischaemic attack, carotid artery stenting, and carotid endarterectomy), peripheral artery disease (history of peripheral artery disease including revascularization procedures, diabetic foot, and amputation), heart failure, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator use. ^¶Categorized using the 2016 World Bank classification. ACE, angiotensin‐converting enzyme; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; ASA, acetylsalicylic acid; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DPP‐4, dipeptidyl peptidase‐4; MET, metformin; mono, monotherapy; OR, odds ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SU, sulphonylureas; T2D, type 2 diabetes
