Summary

This study evaluates the overall cardiovascular risk status and best predictors of optimal metabolic control of Turkish adult patients with diabetes mellitus.

Detailed description

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases with an increasing prevalence worldwide.The prevalence of diabetes is also increased significantly in Turkey, from 7.2 % in 2002 to 13.7% in 2012.This increasing prevalence leads to serious public health problems and a significant economic burden. Therefore, 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. As there is hardly enough data about glycemic and other metabolic control parameters in Turkish adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, this nationwide survey was performed.
