Glycemic And Blood Pressure Control In Type 2 Diabetes, In A Primary Care Unit: A Staged Management Strategy

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The aim of this study is to to analyze if it is possible to reach the goals of HbA1c <7.0% and blood pressure <= 130/80 mm Hg in a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes attending a primary care unit, using ony those resources available at the unit, and provided by the Brazilian National Health System. It is an open label, observational study, with a duration of 4-6 years. Patients attending a primary care outpatient facility will be sequentially included in the study provided they give consent. They will be followed on a monthly basis by a team of physicians and nurses. Glucose, A1c, Blood PRessure will be the outcomes.
