| Why carry out this study? |
| In the US, the rate of obesity has increased among adults with diabetes, with implications for both treatments and health outcomes. |
| This study updates trends in body mass index (BMI) and HbA1c in a US population with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and examines the relationship between BMI and HbA1c. |
| What was learned from the study? |
| Among individuals with T2D, from 2012 to 2019 mean BMI increased and the percentage of individuals who achieved glycemic control decreased. |
| For all adults with T2D, higher BMI was generally associated with higher HbA1c levels. |
| The results of this study suggest that therapies which decrease BMI as well as HbA1c may be important in the management of T2D. |
