Background: Most youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not meet current ADA recommendations for A1C, thus, it is important to identify at diagnosis, those at-risk for later suboptimal glycemic control (A1C ≥9.5%) and complications. Methods: The Risk Index for Poor Glycemic Control (RI-PGC) was administered to 266 parents during children’s (ages Results: Of 266 children with new onset T1D (Mage 9.98 ± 4.42 years; 52% male; 68% Caucasian), 18.8% and 28.6% were Moderate and High Risk, respectively. DKA at onset (n=157; 59%) was significantly correlated with risk score (r=0.888, p Conclusions: We use the RI-PGC in a prevention program to identify risk of future suboptimal glycemic control. These results are consistent with the only other study (Schwartz et al., 2014) to examine risk-most children were Low Risk and more children were High Risk than Moderate Risk. Presence of DKA at onset may be another predictor of future suboptimal glycemic control, DKA episodes, and complications. Disclosure S. Majidi: None. J.M. Vogeli: None. K.A. Driscoll: None.
