Youth with T2D exhibit distinct HbA1c profiles. Patients with diagnostic HbA1c >8.5% are at high risk for glycemic failure, irrespective of short-term improvement in HbA1c. Weight management has the potential to improve short-term HbA1c outcome in youth with T2D. Additional studies are needed to determine the role of medication adherence on glycemic control.
