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.
