ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the extent to which metabolic targets in type 2 diabetes (DM-2) are achieved in the Endocrinology and Clinical Nutrition Unit of the Hospital Puerta del Mar in Cadiz (Spain) from 2005 to 2008.METHOD:
The database included in the computer application HP-Doctor used for all patients attended in our unit (admissions, consultations and peripheral centers) was analyzed. All patients with a principal or secondary diagnosis of DM-2 were included. Clinical characteristics, chronic complications, drug treatment and the percentage of patients who achieved annual mean targets of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) were analyzed.RESULTS:
From 2005 to 2008, the number of DM-2 patients with computerized records increased by 108.7%. In 2008, 1,177 patients were evaluated. A total of 10.8% were active smokers, 53% had hypertension, and 51.2% and 12.6% presented with retinopathy and cardiovascular disease, respectively. During the study period, the percentage of patients with a mean HbA1c <7% was similar (2005 31.7% 2008 30.4%), those with LDLc <100 mg/dl increased from 19.2% to 25.6% and only 9.2% of patients achieved both targets, HbA1c <7% and LDLc <100 mg/dl.CONCLUSIONS:
In 2008, only 30% of DM-2 patients achieved a mean HbA1c < 7% and only 25% had LDLc < 100 mg/dl. Metabolic control in DM-2 patients should be improved.
