GLYCEMIC CONTROL RESULTS AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN OUTPATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AT THANH THUY HEALTH CENTER, PHU THO PROVINCE IN 2024
Overview
Abstract:
Objectives: To evaluate fasting plasma glucose,
HbA1c control results, and associated factors in type 2 diabetes outpatients at
Thanh Thuy Health Center, Phu Tho province. Methods: A cross-sectional
descriptive study was conducted on 392 outpatients with type 2 diabetes from
September 2024 to September 2025. Results: The rate of patients
achieving fasting blood glucose target (<7.2 mmol/l) was 46.4%; the rate
achieving HbA1c target (<7%) was 66.1%. The most common regimen was a
combination of two or more oral drugs (47.4%). There was a statistically
significant association between poor glycemic control and disease duration ≥ 10
years (p=0.002), non-adherence to diet (p=0.003), and insulin-containing
regimens (p=0.000). Conclusion: The rate of HbA1c control was relatively
high, but fasting glucose and concomitant lipid disorders control remained
limited. It is necessary to strengthen dietary counseling and strictly manage
patients with long-standing disease.
