Thực trạng kiểm soát glucose máu và một số yếu tố liên quan ở bệnh nhân đái tháo đường týp 2 kèm tăng huyết áp tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Trà Vinh

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder, particularly when accompanied by hypertension, which increases the risk of cardiovascular, renal, and ocular complications. This study was conducted from May 2024 to August 2024 on 411 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension at Tra Vinh General Hospital to assess the status of blood glucose control and associated factors. The results showed that 40.39% of patients achieved target glycemic control, while 59.61% did not. Factors significantly associated with glycemic control included educational level, duration of disease, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and medication adherence. Based on these findings, specific interventions are recommended, including strengthening health education for patients with low educational levels; providing counseling to modify risk behaviors (smoking cessation and reduction of alcohol consumption); improving medication adherence through monitoring and support from healthcare providers; and enhancing disease management and regular follow-up to improve glycemic control in this patient population.
