The report also examines cardiovascular (CV) disease as it relates to Type 2 diabetes, and provides discharge data for CV conditions commonly associated with diabetes. The report, intended to help providers and employers better identify opportunities to serve the needs of their patients, organizes Type 2 diabetes benchmarks into six local markets and as a whole. All data are drawn from the Managed Care Digest Series. Sanofi, as sponsor of this report, maintains an arm s-length relationship with the organizations that prepare this report and carry out the research. The desire of Sanofi is that the information in this report be completely independent and objective. The Type 2 Diabetes Report helps these organizations fulfill their mission of helping employers play an active and enthusiastic role in collaboration with health plans, providers, and purchasers; and of being a catalyst in promoting cost- effective delivery of quality health care to the benefit of the community. This report features examples of the kinds of patient-level, disease-specific data on Type 2 diabetes that can be provided by these organizations using the Managed Care Digest Series as a resource. Its focus on locales allows for heightened scrutiny of community progress with Type 2 diabetes patient populations. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes glucose, making diabetes patients resistant to the effects of the hormone insulin or unable to produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. The data (covering 2012 through 2014) were gathered by IMS Health, Parsippany, NJ, a leading provider of innovative health care data products and analytic services. The data provide employers with independent, third-party information against which they can benchmark their own data. Please see the back page for information on the data methodology.

Comorbidities were narrowed down to a subset of conditions which are typically present in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Comorbidities of Type 2 diabetes include, but are not limited to, congestive heart failure, dysmetabolic syndrome, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. 3 A complication is defined as a patient condition caused by the Type 2 diabetes of the patient. These conditions are a direct result of having Type 2 diabetes. Complications of Type 2 diabetes include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular disease, hypoglycemia, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. 4 Average length of stay (ALOS) and hospital inpatient charge data come from IMS Health s Procedure/Diagnosis (HPD) database and are current as of end-of-year. 5 Charge data are per-case averages for inpatients with a particular diagnosis of interest. Charges may be for treatment related to other diagnoses. Data reflect the total charges billed by the hospital for the entire episode of care, and may include accommodation, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, and other charges not billed by the physician. Data do not necessarily indicate final amounts paid. 6 Professional charges are those generated by the providers delivering care to Type 2 diabetes patients in various settings. 7 Includes HMOs, PPOs, point-of-service plans, and exclusive provider organizations. $45,000 $40,000 $35,000 $30,000 $25,000 $3,143 $30,023 $1,402 $32,416 $1, $38,554 $2,459 Nation $41,107 Nation $2,203 WORKING-AGE SHARE OF TN TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS IS HIGH VERSUS NATION S In 2014, 49.8 Type 2 diabetes patients in were of working age (18 64), nearly two percentage points higher than the corresponding national share (48.).

INSULIN PEN FILL RATES AMONG TN TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS TRAIL NATION S Compared with national rates, smaller percentages of Type 2 diabetes patients filled prescriptions for long-acting, rapid-acting, short-acting, or mixed insulin pens in However, the portions of Type 2 diabetes patients who received these insulin vials were above those of the nation. 1 The A1c test measures how much glucose has been in the blood during the past 2 3 months. Figures reflect the percentage of Type 2 diabetes patients who have had at least one A1c test in a given year. 2 who filled prescriptions for any insulin products may have also filled prescriptions for products in the non-insulin category, and vice versa. 3 Figures reflect the per-patient yearly payments for Type 2 diabetes patients receiving a particular type of therapy.

Complications of Type 2 diabetes include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular disease, hypoglycemia, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. NOTE: Persistency measures whether patients maintain their prescribed therapy. It is calculated by identifying patients who filled a prescription for the reported drug class in the four months prior to the reported year, and then tracking prescription fills for those same patients in each of the months in the current reported year. If a patient fills a prescription in a month, they are reported among the patients who have continued or restarted on therapy. Continued means that the patient has filled the drug group in each of the preceding months. Restarted means that the patient did not fill in one or more of the preceding months. Continuing and restarting patients are reported together. Persistency data track patients who are New-to-Brand, meaning they have not filled a prescription for their cohort product during the six months prior to initiation of therapy on that product.
