Data were from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Persons with diabetes were identified by self-report or lab test. GLM uses were identified by national drug code. We compared trends in the three study outcomes among non-Hispanic White perons, non-Hispanic Black perons, and Hispanic perons. Between 2005 and 2018, the use of newer GLM (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors) was higher in non-Hispanic White persons (0% to 24.9%) than non-Hispanic Black persons (0% to 19.9%,) or Hispanic persons (0% to 19.5%, all p Disclosure P.
