“…The results from this study highlight that, among diabetic individuals, hypertension is twice more frequent when compared to the population in general. This agrees with Carolino et al (15) who showed in their study that about 67% of diabetic patients were classified as hypersensitive.…”

Background: Subjects with diabetes have increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to those without diabetes. Addressing CVD risk in diabetes remains important due to increasing diabetes prevalence worldwide and in Egypt in particular. Aim: Assessment of major risk factors, and mean global risk score to CVD in type 2 diabetic patients. Material and methods: This is a case control study carried on type 2 diabetic patients in Suez Canal University Hospital, Ismailia, Egypt. Two-hundred and sixty-four patients with type II diabetes, and a matched group of 268 non-diabetic subjects took part in the study. Clinical examination and biochemical analysis were collected. To assess the mean global cardiovascular risk scoring in type 2 diabetic patients a Framingham heart study was used. Results: The mean total risk among type 2 diabetic patients was significantly higher than the matched control group. Moreover, the mean total risk among females in the diabetic patients was higher than that among male patients. Whereas in control group, the total mean risk in males was significantly higher than in females. The major risk factors in diabetic patients including body mass index, blood pressure, postprandial blood sugar and hemoglobin, total cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion: The study highlighted the cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetic patients in Egypt. These data emphasize the importance of treating cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic patients more aggressively in order to prevent CVD events. Furthermore, health care providers must increase the awareness in diabetic patients to adopt better life style.

“…Carolino et al 11 study reported, there was only one patient older than 80 years, while the age range with the highest concentration of individuals was from 60 to 69 years old (51.51%), followed by 50 to 59 years (30.30%) and 70 to 79 years (16.67%). These findings are coherent with those found in other studies carried out with samples originating from health services.…”

“…As options, strategies coming from clinical management and based on risk stratification and biopsychosocial factors of the population, such as operative groups and supported self-care, can be decisive in the gaining of self-efficacy by PHC users and, consequently, in the achievement of lower hospitalization rates 28 . The implementation of multidisciplinary intervention programs at basic health units can promote the adoption of health practices among people with diabetes, as pointed by a study conducted in a municipality in northwestern Paraná 29 . In general terms, PHC must be associated with the improvement in decision-making as to drug prescriptions, to additional exam requests and to other assessments, including improvement in glycemic control, decrease in consultations with specialists and in search for emergency services 30 .…”
