Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes is a public health problem. The need arises to know the clinical situation and pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetic patients, in the Diabetes clinic of the different provinces that constitute the NEA /SAD chapter. Objectives: In patients with Diabetes 2, attended in NEA clinics, in: December 2019, January and February 2020: To know: - sex. - Average age – Evolution time and family history in first degree, of Diabetes. - Metabolic control by HbA1c (last 2). -Pharmacological treatment and self-monitoring. - Cancer frequency and location. - Presence of: Risk factors (Overweight / Obesity, hypertension, dyslipemia, hyperuricemia) and treatment. Chronic complications. Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive, transversal and prospective study. Consecutive sample of patients with Diabetes 2, > 18 years. Criteria: Inclusion: More than one year of diagnosis and attendance at the clinic. Exclusion: Acute intercurrences. Data were loaded into a spreadsheet. Descriptive analysis of the variables was performed. Results: 888 patients. Average age 58 years. Female 465 (52%), Male 423 (48%). Years of diagnosis: <5: 248 (28%), 5 to 10: 338 (38%), > 10: 302 (34%). Family history: YES 445 (50%). HbA1c: <7% good: 317 (36%), 7.01 to 8% regular: 328 (37%), >8% bad: 243 (27%). Medication: Insulin: 142 (16%), Oral drugs plus insulin: 226 (25%), Oral drugs: 520 (59%); single drug; 214 (24%), combined; 306 (35%). Self-monitoring: NO: 165 (19%). Cancer: NO: 870 (98%). Normal weight: 256 (29%). Hypertension: YES: 641 (72.1%), treated yes: 558 (62.8%), no 83 (9.3%). Dyslipemias: YES: 475 (53%), treated yes: 342 (38.5%), no 133 (15%). Hyperuricemia: NO: 784 (88.3%). Cardiovascular disease: NO: 667 (75%). Retinopathy: NO: 650 (73%). Peripheral neuropathy: NO: 667 (75.1%). Nephropathy: NO: 685 (77.1%). Conclusions: Of the patients evaluated, most are women, average age 58. More than 5 years of diagnosis, with family history. Good to regular metabolic control. Treated with oral drugs, they perform self-monitoring. With risk factors, mostly treated. More than 70% do not present cardiovascular disease or microangiopathic complications. Cancer in 2%, being of breast, more frequent.
