Objective: To assess factors related to glucose management in type 2 diabetic outpatient patients. Subjects and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study included 269'diabetic patients treated as outpatient at Dong Anh general hospital from 612013 to 1012013. Results: There was correlation between diabetic duration and level of glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The percentage of patients with good and acceptable fasting glucose at the group diagnosed less than 5 years was 55.8 percent higher than those in the group diagnosed more than 5 years (40.9 percent) (p 0,05). Mean postprandial blood glucose in the group with poor LDL-C control is higher than those in the group with good and acceptable LDL-C control (p 0.05). Proportion of patients with good glycemic control in the group taking one medication was higher than that in the group with combination therapy and insulin treatment (p 0.05). There were no correlation between glucose control and age, sex, exercise and blood pressure (p 0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that there was an association between duration of diabetes, treatment protocols and lipid control and the level of blood glucose control.
