RESUMENIntroducción: la diabetes mellitus (DM) es una enfermedad prevalente en el Paraguay y el tratamiento adecuado exige un control glucémico estricto. Objetivos: determinar la frecuencia de control glucémico adecuado en diabéticos de tres Unidades de Salud Familiar de Areguá, Paraguay. Metodología: diseño observacional, prospectivo que incluyó a varones y mujeres adultos, portadores de DM en tres Unidades de Salud Familiar de Areguá y Asunción, Paraguay, en 2018. Se midieron variables antropométricas, clínicas y laboratoriales. La glucemia en ayunas fue obtenida por glucómetro. Resultados: se incluyó a 111 diabéticos, 97% de tipo 2. La edad media fue 62±9 años y predominó el sexo femenino (70%). La frecuencia de diabéticos con hemoglobina glicada <7% fue 56%. La preobesidad y obesidad juntas se observaron en 71%. La comorbilidad más frecuente fue la hipertensión arterial (87%). El mal control glucémico se asoció significativamente al sedentarismo y bajo ingreso económico. Conclusiones: el control glucémico adecuado determinado por la hemoglobina glicada fue 56%. Se requieren estudios en mayores muestras para determinar las causas de falta de control glucémico en los diabéticos de las Unidades de Salud Familiar. ABSTRACT Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent disease in Paraguay and proper treatment requires strict glycemic control. Objectives: To determine the frequency of adequate glycemic control in diabetics of three Family Health Units in Areguá, Paraguay.Methodology: Observational, prospective design that included adult men and women, carriers of DM in three Family Health Units of Areguá and Asunción, Paraguay in 2018. Anthropometric, clinical and laboratorial variables were measured. Fasting blood glucose was obtained by a glucometer. Results: One hundred eleven diabetics were included, 97% of type 2. The average age was 62±9 years and the female sex predominated (70%). The frequency of diabetics with glycated hemoglobin <7% was 56%. The pre-obesity and obesity together were observed in 71%. The most frequent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (87%). Poor glycemic control was significantly associated with sedentary lifestyle and low income. Conclusions: The adequate glycemic control determined by the glycated hemoglobin was 56%. Studies in larger samples are required to determine the causes of lack of glycemic control in diabetics of Family Health Units.
