AIM: This study aimed to evaluate changes in the prevalence of glucose-lowering agents in a large, unselected general French population from 1997 to 2007, with specific focus on changes in other cardiovascular risk factors in relation to diabetic status during 2001–2002 and 2006–2007. METHODS: The prevalence of treated diabetes was assessed in a large population who had a health check-up at the “Investigations Préventives et Cliniques” Center between 1997–2007. Baseline characteristics and risk profiles of individuals with and without treatment for diabetes were assessed and compared with data for 2001–2002 and 2006–2007. RESULTS: From 1997 to 2007, the prevalence of treatment for diabetes increased from 0.75% to 1.73% in men and from 0.7% to 2.28% in women. In 2006–2007 compared with 2001–2002, the odds ratios for receiving glucose-lowering agents, adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI) and educational level, were 1.54 (95% CI: 1.28–1.86) in men and 1.59 (95% CI: 1.26–2.03) in women. In those treated for diabetes compared with untreated subjects, greater decreases in blood pressure, cholesterol and glycaemia were found, stress and depression scores improved, and a greater increase in BMI was found. Smoking decreased in both treated and untreated individuals. Physical activity decreased in treated individuals, but remained unchanged in the general population. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of people treated with diabetes increased in the Paris area. Although most concomitant risk factors decreased more in treated individuals than in the general population, physical activity and BMI worsened, thus, emphasizing the need for improving patient education.
