Results interpretation: Patients who are elderly, female, with shorter duration of diabetes, less BMI, without complications, performed SMBG recently, treated with OAD only or OAD+GLP1 were more likely to attain the HbA1c targets.
BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GLP-1 RA, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist; OAD, oral antidiabetes drug; SMBG, self-monitored blood glucose.
