Abstract
Objectives: To demonstrate the use of a multinational diabetes registry for comparing indices of diabetes
management among countries with differing levels of income, healthcare systems and ethnic
backgrounds.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1742 people with type 2 diabetes attending
diabetes clinics in London, Ontario, Canada, and Bogota, Colombia. The data were extracted from the
Global Registry and Surveillance System for Diabetes (GRAND).
Results: Canadian patients were diagnosed with diabetes at significantly younger ages than Colombian
patients (49 years and 53 years, respectively) and were heavier (body mass indices of 33 and 28,
respectively). The Colombian patient population had significantly higher mean glycated hemoglobin
(A1C) levels (9.4% vs. 8.6%) and fewer patients (22% vs. 26%) at the glycemic target (A1C <7.0%) than
Canadian patients. In Colombia, 1 or more diabetes-related complications were present in 51% of the
study population compared with 37% in Canada. Newly diagnosed Colombians had higher mean A1C
levels (9.1% vs. 8.7%) and low-density lipoprotein-C levels (3.3 mmol/L vs. 2.5 mmol/L) than did newly
diagnosed Canadians.
Conclusions: A multination diabetes registry collecting standardized data facilitates transnational comparison of diabetes clinical parameters for the purpose of identifying potential gaps in care.
