They were followed for 3-6 months; each time patients were examined physically and their blood pressure, height, weight and BMI were measured.
Fasting blood samples were taken from all patients to test the FPG, HbA1c, T.Chol, TG, HDL and LDL.
Results : Patients’ age was 52.85 ± 15.56 year and the male / female ratio was 1.01, the median duration of disease was 7 years and their BMI was 28.80 ± 13.02 kg / m2.
Patients’ achievement during study period, of glycemic and cardiovascular risk factors, meet the targets of ADA, NHANES and NCEP / ATP III Guidelines of FPG, PPG, HbA1c, T.Chol, TG, LDL, HDL, systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 26.74 %, 29.09 %, 32.78 %, 61.0 %, 60.86 %, 76.19 %, 74.35 %, 52.54 % and 62.50 % respectively.

Improving quality and coverage of tertiary health services may help in achieve and sustain targets ; and afterward close adhering to the WHO and ADA standards and glycemic targets.
