Abstract:
Background: High glucose level can cause many serious complications, especially for type 2 diabetic patients. Poorly blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients usually induces serious complications. Objective: (1) To evaluate blood glucose control state and (2) To describe affected factors to blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients. Subjects and method: We carried out a survey on blood glucose control in 104 type 2 diabetic patients (based on HbA1c results), admitted to Dept of Endocrinology, Bach Mai Hospital from December 2005 to April 2006. 73.1 % of patients is female, average age is 63.4 years old, 57.7% has hypertension, and 62.5% has diabetes for \ufffd?5 years. Results:Blood glucose is poorly controlled in 80.8% (HbA1C > 7.5%), and good controlled in only 12.5% patients (HbA1C < 6.5%). Several affected factors are identify, such as patients were not educated and/or do not perform correctly nutritional and exercise therapy (48.1 %); not compliant with drug treatment; or not measure regularly blood glucose; and long duration of diabetes (p < 0.01). Conclusions: (1) Blood glucose in majority of type 2 diabetic patients is poorly controlled. (2) Factors affected are non - compliance with therapy, irregularly blood glucose measurement and long duration of diabetes.
