Background.
The aim of this study was to assess target diabetic goal achievements and to explore variables associated with them.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2015 and April 2016 on 188 type 2 diabetic patients attending Ayder Referral Hospital’s outpatient diabetic clinic.
Glycemic control was assessed using fasting plasma glucose values and total cholesterol and triglyceride were used to evaluate lipid profiles.
Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to identify factors associated with poor glycemic control, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
Result.
Mean duration of diabetes was 6.5 years.
Combined glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure targets were achieved only in 8.5% of the participants.
More males achieved combined targets than females.
Separately, while above two-thirds of the patients had poor glycemic control (67%), more than half of the participants have had poor lipid (58.5%) and blood pressure (52.1%) control.
A significant portion of the patients (68.1%) had also comorbidities other than hyperglycemia.
In bivariate and multivariate analyses, longer duration of diabetes disease (AOR: 3.4; P=0.013) and marked month to month fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability as measured by large standard deviation (AOR: 2.5; P=0.023) were significantly associated with overall poor mean FPG results.
Female sex was also significantly associated with dyslipidemia (AOR: 1.9; P=0.049).
Conclusion.
The study showed that achievements of combined diabetic goals are generally poor.
