ABSTRACT
Background: Diabetes is a chronic degenerative disease that represents a public health problem, occurring in 10% of the population in Mexico.The laboratory test of glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c) is used to know how well diabetes is controlled. The aim of the study was to determine the level of hemoglobin A1c in the treatment of the diabetic patient attending to ISSSTE hospital.
Material and methods: We performed a prospective descriptive survey. Sample: diabetic patients attending to the laboratory of the Regional Hospital. Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured: a level of 2.5 to 5.9% indicated good control, adequate control 6-8 and ≥ 8 poor control treatment. Additional variables were: gender, age, type of diabetes, type of treatment, occupation. Statistical analysis: mean and standard deviation, t student and Chi-square, 95% confidence intervals were done with significance level ‹ 0.05.
Results: We studied 86 patients, male 29 (33.7%) and 57 female (66.3%), age 57.6 ± 12.2 years old. The mean Hb A1c was 8.03 ± 2.2. The level of Hb A1c with good control was 45 (52.3%), poorly controlled 37 (43%), and 4 (4.7%) controlled. Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c level by specialty and type of treatment for diabetes had no significant difference (p › 0.05). Hb A1c level by the frequency of the type of diabetes and gender, had significant differences (p ‹ 0.05).
Conclusions: We recommended developing clinical guidelines based on evidence for the treatment of diabetes, as well as educational strategies for adherence to treatment.
