Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk, which remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in diabetes management, many patients fail to meet therapeutic. The complexity of managing cardiovascular risk factors alongside glycemic control poses challenges in clinical practice.
Methods and Aims: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 patients with T2DM who had been attending outpatient consultations in the endocrinology department of a Tunisian medical center for at least six months. The objective was to evaluate major cardiovascular risk factors, stratify patients according to the 2023 ESC risk score, and assess treatment adherence along with the attainment of therapeutic goals.
Results: The average age of the patients was 57.9 years, with a female predominance (65%). Poor diabetes control was mainly attributed to inadequate therapeutic adherence in 33.8% of cases. Arterial hypertension was present in 46 patients. 26.3% of patients were not meeting therapeutic targets, Dyslipidemia was observed in 67.5% of patients. 27.5% of patients did not reach their LDL cholesterol targets. Obesity was present in 45% of cases, and 10% of patients had not quit smoking. The cardiovascular risk was moderate in 6.3% of patients, high in 61.3%, and very high in 32.5%.
Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of better strategies to achieve cardiovascular risk targets in diabetic patients to prevent complications and improve long-term health outcomes.
