About

This study evaluates the metabolic control status, cardiovascular risk and frequency of comorbidities in diabetic patients followed in tertiary treatment centers in Turkey.

Full description

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide.The prevalence of diabetes is increased significantly in Türkiye, from 7.2 % in 2002 to 13.7% in 2012. This increasing prevalence leads to serious public health problems and a significant economic burden. Many important diseases such as hypertension and dyslipidemia accompany the picture in diabetic patients. The optimal treatment of diabetes and prevention of diabetic complications, especially the cardiovascular outcomes, is utmost important. Although achieving glycemic targets in patients with diabetes is of great importance, blood glucose is not the only predictor of cardiovascular outcome in diabetes. Optimization of other metabolic parameters such as lipids, arterial blood pressure (ABP), and body weight as well as a healthy lifestyle are utmost important.

Common problems in diabetic patients, such as sleep disorders and sexual dysfunction, affect glycemia regulation in these patients.There is little data on the frequency of these diseases in diabetic patients in Türkiye.

In the TEMD-1 study conducted in 2017, the rates of diabetic patients achieving metabolic goals and the factors affecting these rates were revealed in Turkish patients with diabetes. The findings obtained in the current study will be compared with the findings in 2017, and in addition, the frequency of comorbidities such as sleep disorder, sexual dysfunction, and depression will be tried to be revealed.
