Background: The primary objective of this U.S. based multi-center study was to examine the association of overweight and obesity with A1c levels for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) . Methods: Electronic health record data spanning 2017-2021 for children and adolescents from the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement (T1DX-QI) Collaborative was analyzed. BMI percentiles were calculated using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth curves, and children were categorized into normal weight, overweight, obese and severely obese groups. Normal weight was defined as a BMI < 85th percentile for age and sex. Overweight was defined as a BMI ≥ 85th to < 95th percentile. Obesity was defined as having a BMI Results: Of 14,484 T1D patients aged < 18 years, 2,063 (14%) were underweight, 9,320 (65%) normal weight, 1,769 (12%) overweight, 977 (7%) obese and 333 were severely obese (2%) . More people of Black (12%) and Hispanic (18%) race/ethnicity were in the obese group relative to the normal weight group (8% and 10% respectively; p Conclusion: In this extensive real-world study, we found obese children and adolescents with T1D were more likely of Black or Hispanic race/ethnicity and have higher HbA1c levels compared to those with healthy weight.
