| Summary: | Background: measuring the concentrations of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is one of the most effective techniques to evaluate the glycemic control in diabetic patients.
Objective: to characterize the results of glycosylated hemoglobin test in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 at the Provincial Center for Patient Care with Diabetes in Camagüey, from May 2018 to September 2019.
Methods: a descriptive cross study in patients older than 40 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was performed in the institution and period mentioned before. The universe was 150 patients and the sample was 80 patients selected by exclusion criterion. In addition to the glycosylated hemoglobin test, it also evaluated age, sex, color of skin, anthropometrics measures, risk factors, the evolution of the disease, micro and macrovascular complications.
Results: the patients comprised into 50 and 60 years old were frequent (63.75 %). The female was the most affected sex (61.25 %) and the white skin patients (80 %). The hypertriglyceridemia was the major number (63.75 %) fallowed by mix dyslipidemia (47.50 %). The higher risk of micro and macrovascular complications was in 31 patients with significant statistic relation to the high values of HbA1c. An 87.5 % presented arterial hypertension and a 70 % alteration in the body mass index. The diabetic neuropathy was the predominant complication (70 %).
Conclusion: there was a relation between patient with deficient glycemic control and major alteration in the lipid profile.
