Type 2 Diabetes in High-risk Youth: Improving Identification and Interventions in Community Health with a Decade of Quality Improvement Efforts.

Introduction: This manuscript describes quality improvement interventions with aims (1) to increase identification and follow-up testing of youth with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and (2) to improve outcomes for youth with prediabetes and low-range T2D (HbA1c 6.5-6.9%).

Quality improvement efforts in a safety net institution: Increased diabetes screening is associated with lower HbA1c at diagnosis and improved HbA1c outcomes in youth with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: Evaluate whether increased diabetes screening in youth is associated with lower HbA1c at T2D diagnosis and improved HbA1c outcomes in youth.

Research Design And Methods: Diabetes screening rates from 2009 to 2018 were calculated. Electronic medical records identified obese youth ages 8-18 with first HbA1c ≥6.
