ABSTRACT
Introduction: glycosylated hemoglobin is used to evaluate the level of glycemic control. It has been reported that its decrease by 2 % reduces the occurrence or progression of micro or macrovascular complications.Objective: to determine the behavior of glycosylated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes patients with macroangiopathy in lower limbs.
Method: study of one hundred type 2 diabetic patients with/without diabetic macroangiopathy in their lower limbs; 36 were males and 64 females averagely aged 61.8 years (44-74 years). The level of hemoglobin glycosylation was quantitated as well as the reference value was estimated. The kind of association of this indicator with several risk factors and with the type of diabetic macroangiopathy was also established and described.
Results: the reference value of 8.6 % of the glycosylated hemoglobin was chosen because it was the cutoff point with the highest sensitivity (73.7 %), specificity (83.7 %) and probability odds (4.52) values. Poor glycemic control was confirmed in 48.3 % of patients, mainly affected by occluded macroangiopathy (44.8 %). In decompensated patients, dyslipidemia was the predominant risk factor (58.3 %) along with the combination of smoking and blood hypertension (35.3 %).
Conclusions: the type 2 diabetic patients with occluded diabetic macroangiopathy of the lower limbs showed very high glycosylated hemoglobin values indicative of poor metabolic control.
