Introduction and objectives: In clinical practice many professionals are involved in the diabetes treatment. To facilitate this work, we present a computer program, based in recommended guidelines, to improve the management of insulin therapy, called insulinator. We evaluated the correlation between these and clinical practice.Materials and methods: Insulinator has been made so that using a number of variables (weight, HbA1c and glycemic control) offer a...

Objective: To evaluate the response to treatment with insulin infusion pumps by the evolution of HbA1c over 8 years of experience.Methods: Observational retrospective study. We evaluated the response to treatment in 122 patients with type 1 diabetes recruited between 2004 and 2012 in our area.Results: Between 2004 and 2012, 122 pumps have been implemented (average of 17.4 pumps/year). The number decreased to only four in 2012. Pres...

Objective: To analyze the impact of a specialized management on cardiovascular risk at the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Material and method: Were analyzed 171 patients who visited our diabetes day hospital (DDH) during 2010–2011, studying the following variables: sex, age, BMI, smoking habit, arterial hypertension (de novo/previously known), antihypertensive therapy, dislypidemia (de novo/previously known), hypolipidemic thera...

Objective: To analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients treated at the onset of type two diabetes mellitus in our DDH.Material and method: During 2010–2011 were analyzed 171 patients treated in our DDH, studying the following variables: sex, age, BMI, waist circumference, family diabetes history, microvascular and macrovascular long-term complications, smoking habit, rate of associated hypertension (de novo/ previ...

Objective: Analyze the use of DPP-4 inhibitors (iDPP4) in a specialized consultation as well as metabolic impact, weight and safety in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).Material and methods: We analyzed 100 patients with DM2, derivative to Diabetes hospital with debut or poor glycemic control. We initiated them sitagliptin 100 mg/day and reinforced Diabetes education. We studied the HbA1c, weight and severe hypoglycemia. Statistical analysis w...
