Adequacy of Glycemic, Lipid and Blood Pressure Goals Among Ambulatory Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus

To evaluate the adequacy of glycaemic, lipid and blood pressure (BP) goals of diabetic patients, To evaluate the differences in goal attainment rates between various parameters like age, sex, body mass index, complications, medications and compliance.

A total of 250 diabetic patients coming to HIMS, Hassan were studied and evaluated for BP, fasting blood sugar (FBS) , post prandial blood sugar (PPBS), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides (TG). Patients were evaluated and reviewed past medical records for complications. All diabetics on treatment were included in the study; newly diagnosed, type-1 diabetes, seriously ill, pregnant and those who don't want to be the part of study were excluded.

Case series study.

Out of 250 patients, 55.6% were males, 44.4% were females. BP, FBS and PPBS were tested in all patients. HbA1C was tested in 72%. Lipid parameters like LDL, HDL, and TG were tested in 42%, 37.6% and 52.4% respectively. FBS, PPBS and HBA1C target goals were achieved in 43.89%, 63.89% and 11.67% respectively in patients with complications and 77%, 88.50% and 68.5% respectively in those without complications. LDL, HDL and TG target goals were achieved in 37.78%, 47.22% and 41.11% respectively in patients with complications and 67.1%, 67.20% and 71.4% respectively in those without complications. BP goal was achieved in 53.89% and 78.55% in patients with and without complications respectively.
