Glycemic control in adult type 1 diabetes patients from a brazilian country city: comparison between a multidisciplinary and a routine endocrinological approach

This chapter discusses some of the issues related to the three most common types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes) that are particularly relevant to developing countries. The focus is on type 2 diabetes, which constitutes over 90% of all diabetes worldwide. Published data from these developing countries is presented, particularly from India and Asia because of the lead author's experience.

Objective. To evaluate the prevalence of chronic vascular complications and associated factors in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM 1.0, CI95%: 1.0-1.01, P = 0.05]. Seven patients had macrovascular disease. Only 22% achieved an HbA1c of <7.0%. HPT prevalence was 33%, and 48% had blood pressure levels <130/80 mmHg and 45% of the patients had LDL values > 100 mg/dl. cOnclusiOn. We observed a high prevalence of microvascular complications and HPT. The duration of DM, HPT and presence of DN were associated with DR. HPT and dyslipidemia were associated with DN. Most patients did not meet the desired glycaemic control, blood pressure and lipid targets. Greater efforts are needed to intensify the pressure and metabolic control of patients with type 1 DM.
