Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is a common cardiovascular risk factor in Vietnam. Newly diagnosed diabetic patients need to aggressively manage blood glucose to minimize the development of cardio-renal complications. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the rate of blood glucose control in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on type 2 diabetic patients diagnosed within the last 6 months at the Endocrinology clinic and Family Medicine clinic, Ho Chi Minh City University Medical Center. Results: 275 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients participated in the study. The rate of blood glucose control (HbA1C < 7%) was 44.7%. Factors associated with the risk of poor blood glucose control included: overweight/obesity (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.7), smoking (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.3-6.6), comorbidities (OR 17.7, 95% CI 1.3-85.2), sulfonylurea use (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1-4.7) and hypoglycemic combination therapy (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.4-6.6). Conclusion: Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients have a suboptimal rate of blood glucose control. Those who smoke or have comorbidities require special attention to achieve target blood glucose levels.
