Description:
Poor glycemic control is a primary risk factor for the progression of complications. This study aimed to determine the status of glycemic control and associated factors among type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients at primary health care of Cakung District, Kebon Jeruk District and Rawa Bunga Village, Jakarta. This study was conducted from July to August 2019, and adopted a cross-sectional design. The respondents' data included sex, age, occupation, education, long suffered with diabetes, diagnosed chronic disease, antidiabetic and other regular drugs were obtained through a questionnaire. Measurement of glycated haemoglobin A1c level was carried out in a standardized laboratory in Jakarta. A total of 126 respondents met the inclusions and exclusion criteria, of which 70.6% were female. The mean age of patients was 61.46±9.086 years (35–85 years). HbA1c level was measured, and the results showed that 45.2% of respondents had good glycemic control (<7% of HbA1c level), while 54.8% had poor control (?7% of HbA1c level). On the bivariate analysis, the number of antidiabetics was signifcantly associated with glycemic control (p<0.05). The poor glycemic control was signifcantly higher in patients with polytherapy (72.6%) antidiabetic compared to single antidiabetic (37.5%) (p=0.01). These fndings highlighted the need for proper management of patients with polytherapy, in order to prevent the complication of type 2 DM.
