| Summary: | Introduction
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM) continues to increase worldwide. Indonesia is
no exception. The diagnoses of prediabetes and diabetes
are increasing and seen in ever younger patients. Primary
Health Care (PHC) plays a pivotal role in managing this
disease in the community. This study aimed to determine
the achievement therapy of T2DM patients in a PHC center
in Surabaya, the second most populous city in Indonesia.
Methods
The design of this study was cross-sectional.
T2DM patients who made regular visits to a PHC center in
2018 were included in this study after providing informed
consent. Respondent characteristics (age, education level,
family history of T2DM, physical activity, nutrient intake), as
well as BMI, blood pressure, and laboratory data, including
fasting plasma glucose (FPG), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),
serum creatinine, and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR),
were collected. Simple correlation and multiple regression
analyses were performed by SPSS 17.0.0
Results
The mean age of the patients was 60.9 ± 10.0 years,
and participants had been diagnosed with T2DM for a mean
of 6.9 ± 8.3 years. The therapeutic goal (FPG ≤130 mg/dL and
HbA1c <7%) was achieved in 30.9% and 23.8% of patients,
respectively. Early microvascular abnormality screening
(ACR) showed that 70.9% of the patients had increased ACR,
while serum creatinine level was found to be high in 22.8% of
the patients. FPG correlated to HbA1c, serum creatinine and
ACR (r=0.64, p<0.001; r=0.39, p=0.001; and r=0.25, p=0.03,
respectively).
Conclusions
The majority of T2DM patients in our sample
did not achieve their therapeutic goals in terms of FPG and
HbA1c. Those who did not achieve FPG goals were less likely
to meet ACR goals and were less likely to have normal serum
creatinine, most probably reflecting a pattern of poor longterm
follow-up. |
