Type 2 diabetes is considered a disease of epidemic proportions, its control is important to prevent macro and microvascular complications.

This study aims to determine the factors associated with poor glycemic control, defined as HbA1c >7% in type 2 diabetic patients of cardiovascular risk program of the Central Hospital of National Police in Colombia

Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, where it is performed univariate and multivariate analysis of factors associated with poor glycemic control in the type 2 diabetes patients.

Results: 3417 patients of cardiovascular risk program of which 1058 are type 2 diabetic patients were included. As independent factors of poor glycemic control found an LDL cholesterol >100 mgdl OR=1.47 (95% CI 1.12–1.944, P=0.006); HDL < 40 mg/dl in men and <50 mg/dl in women OR=1.44 (95% CI 1.043–1.99, P=0.027); Duration of diabetes OR=1.066 (95% CI 1.049–1.084, P=0.001); Microalbuminuria >30 mg/g creatinuria OR=1.484 (95% CI 1.11–1.978, P=0.007) and IDF criteria of metabolic syndrome OR=2.30 (95%CI 1.47–3.59, P=0.001); adjusting for age, smoking, BMI and triglycerides.

Conclusion: The metabolic syndrome is an independent factor of poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients; highlighting the importance of therapeutic lifestyle changes; they have been included in the programs of prevention and control of cardiovascular risk patients, in order to reduce the presence of the constituent factors of metabolic Syndrome.
