Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with high morbidity and mortality, and glycemic control is key to avoiding complications. Technological innovations have led to the development of new tools to help patients with DM manage their condition. OBJECTIVE This consensus assesses the current perspective of physicians on the potential benefits of using smart insulin pens in the glycemic control of patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1) in Spain. METHODS The Delphi technique was used by 110 physicians who were experts in managing patients with DM1. The questionnaire consisted of 94 questions. RESULTS The consensus obtained was 95.74%. The experts recommended using the ambulatory glucose profile report and the different time-in-range (TIR) metrics to assess poor glycemic control. Between 31% and 65% of patients had TIR values less than 70% and were diagnosed based on glycosylated hemoglobin values. They believed that less than 10% of patients needed to remember to administer the basal insulin dose and between 10% and 30% needed to remember the prandial insulin dose. CONCLUSIONS The perception of physicians in their usual practice leads them to recommend the use of ambulatory glucose profile and time in range for glycemic control. Forgetting to administer insulin is a very common problem and the actual occurrence rate does not correspond with clinicians' perceptions. Technological improvements and the use of smart insulin pens can increase treatment adherence, strengthen the doctor-patient relationship, and help improve patients' education and quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the project was to describe the preferences related to the medication attributes of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) treated in Spain. METHODS The project was carried out in four different phases. In phase A, a Steering Committee defined and selected a total of 18 attributes for treating DM and grouped them into four categories: health outcomes, adverse events, treatment characteristics and cost of treatment. In phase B, a questionnaire according to a discrete choice experiment (DCE) methodology was developed. In phase C, the online DCE survey was sent to members of associations of people with DM from the Spanish Diabetes Federation (FEDE). Finally, in phase D, the results were discussed in a deliberative process. RESULTS Of the 238 participants who completed the questionnaire (May-September 2020), 231 were included (mean age, 58 years; males, 62%). The DCE results showed that the best-valued category was health outcomes (39.67%), followed by adverse events (26.85%), treatment characteristics (21.70%) and treatment costs (11.77%). Ten of 18 attributes had a significant effect on participants' choice (p < 0.05) and the highest relative importance value: blood pressure reduction (12.82%), hypoglycaemia (12.77%), HbA1c level reduction (8.54%), cost of the medication (8.13%), needle/tablet size (7.20%), weight change (6.72%), risk of genitourinary infections (6.36%), gastrointestinal problems (5.82%), improved kidney function (5.53%) and administration route (5.41%). CONCLUSIONS People with DM prefer a treatment that generates benefits in measurable health effects (reducing blood pressure and HbA1c level, while not risking hypoglycaemia) and a convenient route of administration. Considering the preferences of people with DM could generate better clinical results and therapeutic adherence, reducing morbidity, mortality and disease burden.

Adherence to antidiabetic treatment and impaired hypoglycemia awareness in type 2 diabetes mellitus assessed in Spanish community pharmacies: the ADHIFAC study. BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 2021; 9:9/2/e002148. [PMID: 34845061 PMCID: PMC8633992 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2021-002148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adherence to treatment and hypoglycemia awareness are strongly linked to glycemic control and hypoglycemia risk in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Community pharmacies are suitable facilities to detect these conditions, and should be involved in the strategies to minimize the associated risks and burden. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study conducted at community pharmacies across Spain assessed the prevalence of low adherence to antidiabetic treatments, the frequency of impaired hypoglycemia awareness, and their predictive factors. Adherence was measured with the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and electronic records of dispensed treatments. The Clarke questionnaire was used to assess impaired hypoglycemia awareness. Healthcare counseling provided in the pharmacy was collected. RESULTS Seventy-nine pharmacists and 618 subjects with T2DM participated in the study. Mean age in the overall T2DM population was 67 years, being the majority (69%) pensioners. Adherence was high in 41% of participants, medium in 35%, and low in 24% according to the MMAS-8. Impaired hypoglycemia awareness was observed in 25% of participants. Main determinants of low adherence were the level of education, the number of treatments per patient, hypoglycemia awareness, and the type of pharmacy. Predictive factors of impaired hypoglycemia awareness were the level of education, information on diabetes-related complications, adherence levels, and the type of pharmacy. The proportion of participants who had healthcare counseling was 71% in the overall population and 100% in subjects with impaired hypoglycemia awareness and low adherence. Healthcare counseling comprised diabetes education (69%), pharmacotherapeutic assessment (20%), and physician referrals (11%). CONCLUSION Lack of adherence to antidiabetic treatments and impaired hypoglycemia awareness are frequent and correlate in T2DM. Community pharmacies can detect these conditions and should have an active role in the design of strategies to minimize them.

Abstract
Introduction: Poorly controlled hyperglycemia causes numerous health complications. Postprandial hyperglycemia is an important indicator of diabetic status. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of Annona muricata L. extract on the in vitro intestinal glucose absorption in diabetic rats and in vivo antihyperglycemic activity in both normal and diabetic rats. Methods: Phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract from the leaves of A. muricata was carried out. Albino rats were randomly assigned into normal and diabetic groups. Each group was divided into three subgroups: control (vehicle), experimental (A. muricata), and standard (Metformin) groups, to determine antihyperglycemic activity at different times after glucose overload. The everted intestinal sac technique was used to study intestinal glucose absorption in diabetic rats. Results: Aqueous leaf extract of Peruvian A. muricata exhibited statistically significant (P < 0.05) in vivo antihyperglycemic activity in both normal and diabetic rats when compared to the control group. The magnitude of the effect was similar to metformin treatment. Moreover, the aqueous leaf extract of A. muricata significantly diminished in vitro intestinal glucose absorption, with a magnitude similar to metformin treatment. Phytochemical analysis of the aqueous extract revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and leucoanthocyanidins, among others. Conclusion: This study reveals that A. muricata aqueous extract is able to reduce in vitro intestinal glucose absorption and improve oral glucose tolerance in rats.

Abstract
AIMS To analyze therapeutic inertia in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects with suboptimal glycemic control and treated with ≥2 non-insulin antidiabetic agents in a primary care setting. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted using electronic medical records from subjects with HbA1c ≥7.0% (≥53 mmol/mol). Therapeutic inertia was defined as the absence of treatment intensification despite suboptimal glycemic control where intensification should have been implemented (HbA1c ≥7.5% [≥58 mmol/mol]). Time to the first intensification with non-insulin antidiabetic agent or insulin and HbA1c values at the time of intensification were evaluated by competing risk analysis. RESULTS 2652 adults with T2D and HbA1c ≥7.0% (≥53 mmol/mol) were included. During the 4-year follow-up, among 1628 individuals with HbA1c ≥7.5% [≥58 mmol/mol], therapeutic inertia was present in 42.9% of cases. Median time to intensification was 14.5 months (IQR25-75, 4-24 months). In this subgroup, 72.7% of subjects initiated non-insulin agents whereas 27.3% initiated insulin. Mean HbA1c values at initiation of treatment intensification were 8.6% (70 mmol/mol) and 9.2% (77 mmol/mol), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic inertia occurred in over 40% of subjects. Treatment intensification took longer and was performed at higher HbA1c than recommended in clinical guidelines. Reducing therapeutic inertia is a priority to achieve therapeutic goals and prevent chronic complications in T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the changes in food consumption pattern and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes after an educational intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study in people over 18 years of age with type 2 diabetes receiving the educational intervention provided by the health facilities of the Costa Rican Social Security. Sociodemographic, biochemical, and anthropometric variables were collected. Glycemic control was classified as good (≤7%), fair (7.1-8%), and poor (>8%). The usual daily diet record was used to assess the food consumption pattern based on the 11 criteria, divided into the following categories: poor compliance (0-3 criteria), fair compliance (4-7 criteria), and good compliance (8-11 criteria). Data collected were processed using SPSS version 16 software. A Student's t test was used for dependent samples. The impact of the educational intervention on metabolic control and food consumption pattern was determined using a McNemar test with a level of significance of 5% for hypothesis testing. RESULTS The study sample consisted of 702 patients with a mean age of 54.5±11.6 years, 73.8% females. Mean initial glycosylated hemoglobin level was 8.8±2.14%, while final level was 7.8±1.78% (P<.05). Glycosylated hemoglobin levels less than 7% were found in 23.9% of the population at study start and in 41.3% at study end. As regard the food consumption pattern, the mean number of criteria met was 6±3 at study start and 9±2 at study end (P<.000). Mean glycosylated hemoglobin level showed at the start of intervention a similar behavior in all 3 categories of the food consumption pattern, and at the end the changes in glycosylated hemoglobin in the poor and fair compliance categories were statistically significant (P<.022 and P<.000 respectively), unlike in the good compliance category (P<.065). At the end of the intervention, of the 75.6% of the population with good compliance, 41.3% had good metabolic control (P<.0001). The educational intervention was significant (P<.000) using the McNemar test. CONCLUSION The educational intervention approach to nutritional therapy had a positive impact on the food consumption pattern and glycosylated hemoglobin levels, showing that therapeutic education is part of the treatment of diabetes to achieve the objectives.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this Delphi study is to unveil the management of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and different levels of complexity in the clinical practice in Spain. METHODS Based on the common management practices of T2D profiles reported by Spanish endocrinologists, a Delphi questionnaire of 55 statements was developed and responded to by a national panel (n = 101). RESULTS A consensus was reached for 30 of the 55 statements. Regarding overweight patients inadequately controlled with metformin, treatment with a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I) is preferred over treatment with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4-I). If the patient is already being treated with a DPP4-I, an SGLT2-I is added on to the treatment regimen rather than replacing the DPP4-I. Conversely, if the treatment regimen includes a sulfonylurea, it is usually replaced by other antihyperglycemic agents. Current treatment trends in uncontrolled obese patients include the addition of an SGLT2-I or a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) to background therapy. When the glycated hemoglobin target is not reached, triple therapy with metformin + GLP1-RA + SGLT2-I is initiated. Although SGLT2-Is are the treatment of choice in patients with T2D and heart failure or uncontrolled hypertension, no consensus was reached regarding the preferential use of SGLT2-Is or GLP1-RAs in patients with established cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION Consensus has been reached for a variety of statements regarding the management of several T2D profiles. Achieving a more homogeneous management of complex patients with T2D may require further evidence and a better understanding of the key drivers for treatment choice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors in cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with dyslipidemia in the population with diabetes mellitus type 2 in the region of Cantabria. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a transversal study carried out at Cantabrian primary health care centres (n=680). A representative, random sample of the population with DM2, ranging from 18-85, was selected using a multistage procedure. The medical records were obtained, and by means of interviews the data of the risk factors to be studied was secured. The correlation with dyslipidemia was analysed by means of logistic regression. RESULTS There were 52.1% of males, the average age was 69.8, the evolution of diabetes was 9.99 years, 84.3% had arterial hypertension, 76.6% were overweight or obese and the average HbA1c was 6.96%. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 85.3%, and in the bivariate analysis this is associated with a history of peripheral artery disease, controlled diabetes, antihypertensive treatment, glomerular filtration, HbA1c>7%, body fat estimated as being either overweight or obese, a history of cardiovascular disease, age and HbA1c. In the multivariate analysis the independent factors were being female and a history of cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION The prevalence of dyslipidemia in our study was 85.3%, and is consistent with figures found in previous published studies. The independent associated risk factors were being female and a past medical history of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic literature review (SLR) was to provide an overview of the Spanish research landscape of observational studies conducted with antidiabetic drugs in T2DM patients, published in the last five years, with special focus on the objectives, methodology and main research areas. Twenty-two articles, corresponding to 20 studies, were included in the analysis. Around 82% of the studies employed a longitudinal study design, collected data retrospectively (72.7%), and were based on secondary data use (63.6%). Pharmacotherapeutical groups most frequently studied were insulin (31.8%) and DPP4i (13.6%). Analytic design was employed most in the studies (68.2%), followed by descriptive analysis (22.7%). In the top five of the most studied variables are those related to effectiveness assessed according to glycaemic control (91%), treatment patterns (82%), safety (hypoglycaemia) (59%), the identification of effectiveness predictive factors (45%) and effectiveness according to other control measures such as anthropometric control or cardiovascular risk factors (36%).

OBJECTIVES To understand the state of glycaemic control of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Spain and its relationship with functional capacity and comorbidity. METHODS Cross-sectional, observational, multicentre national study on patients with diabetes mellitus aged 65 years or older. The study analysed demographic and anthropometric variables, cardiovascular risk factors, clinical and laboratory data, associated comorbidity and treatments. We analysed the functional capacity using the Barthel index and the comorbidity with Charlson index. RESULTS The study included 939 patients with a mean age of 76.4±6.7 years. The mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level was 7.0%±1.2%, and the mean basal blood glucose level was 137±39.6mg/dL. The HbA1c level showed statistically significant differences depending on the degree of disability. In the patients who were totally, severely, moderately or slightly dependent or who were independent, the mean HbA1c levels were 7.0%, 7.9%, 7.4% and 7.0%, respectively (P<.028). HbA1c levels were 7.3%, 7.1% and 6.9% in the patients with very high, high and medium comorbidity, respectively (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Mean HbA1c levels in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes analysed in Spain are below those recommended by the main clinical practice guidelines. The levels are higher in patients who have more functional disability and a higher level of comorbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study reviews the clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated in a Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Unit (MDFU) and analyzes the mortality and factors associated with its survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from all patients who attended the MDFU for the first time for a diabetic foot ulcer during the 2008-2014 period were analized. The patients were followed until their death or until June 30, 2016, for up to 8 years. RESULTS A total of 345 patients were included, with a median age (P25-P75) of 71 (61.5-80) years, and 321 (93%) had type 2 diabetes. They were characterized as patients with inadequate glycemic control, 48% had HbA1c ≥ 8% and high prevalence of chronic complications: 60.2% retinopathy, 43.8% nephropathy and 47.2% ischemic heart disease and/or cerebrovascular disease. A total of 126 (36.5%) patients died and 69 (54.8%) were due to cardiovascular disease. Survival measured by Kaplan-Meier declined over time to 69, 60 and 45% at 3, 5 and 7 years respectively. Cox's multivariate regression analysis showed the following variables associated with mortality, HR (95% CI): age 1.08 (1.05-1.11); previous amputation 2.24 (1.34-3.73); active smoking 2.10 (1.12-3.97); cerebrovascular disease 1.75 (1.05-2.92); renal dysfunction 1.65 (1.04-2.61) and ischemic heart disease 1.60 (1.01-2.51). CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetic foot ulcer are characterized by high morbidity and mortality, with cardiovascular disease being the most frequent cause of death. It is necessary to pay more attention to this risk group, tailoring objectives and treatments to their situation and life expectancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is evidence of increased macro- and micro-vascular risk in diabetic patients. The objective of this study was to determine the level of control in patients in different population groups with type 2 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS DESIGN Descriptive cross-sectional study. LOCATION Primary care. Madrid Health Service. Year: 2014. SUBJECTS Patients over 14 years with type 2 diabetes. Number of patientes: n=6674. MEASUREMENTS Variables on the degree of control (HbA1c, systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], LDL-c) and variables on patient characteristics (demographic, other cardiovascular risk factors, complications). RESULTS The mean age of patients with controlled HbA1c was 67.8 years vs. 62.9 years in the uncontrolled (P<.001). Patients diagnosed with hypertension have a higher percentage of control with respect to the undiagnosed in HbA1c, SBP, DBP and LDL-c: 51 vs. 37%, 62 vs. 43%, 75 vs. 47% and 57 vs. 44% respectively; diagnosed with dyslipidaemia: 51 vs. 39%, 60 vs. 49%, 70 vs. 56% and 56 vs. 46%. With a diagnosis of macroangiopathy: 46 vs. 45%, 58 vs. 54%, 71 vs. 62% and 15 vs. 60%. All differences were statistically significant (P<.001). Over 50% of patients without a diagnosis of hypertension had an SBP> 140mmHg or DBP> 90mmHg. Over 25% of patients with hypertension or DL and uncontrolled levels were not receiving drug treatment. CONCLUSION Control was improved in all groups, especially in younger patients, with particularly high cardiovascular risk by the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors or macroangiopathy. A significant percentage of patients with uncontrolled BP and cLDL were not diagnosed or receiving drug treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information about the achievement of glycemic targets in patients with type 2 diabetes according to different individualization strategies is scarce. Our aim was to analyze the allocation of type 2 diabetic patients into individualized glycemic targets according to different strategies of individualization and to assess the degree of achievement of adequate control. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis on 5382 type 2 diabetic patients in primary care setting in Spain between 2011 and 2012. Targets of HbA1c were assigned based on different strategies of individualization of glycemic targets: 1) the ADA/EASD consensus 2) The Spanish Diabetes Society (SED) consensus 3) a strategy that accounts for the risk of hypoglycemia (HYPO) considering the presence of a hypoglycemia during the last year and type of hypoglycemic treatment. Concordance between the different strategies was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 15.9, 17.1 and 67 % applied to ADA/EASD recommendation of HbA1c target of <6.5, < 7 and <8 % (48, 53 and 64 mmol/mol), and 31.9 and 67.4 % applied to the SED glycemic target of <6.5 and <7.5 % (<48 and 58 mmol/mol). Using the HYPO strategy, 53.5 % had a recommended HbA1c target <7 % (53 mmol/mol). There is a 94 % concordance between the ADA/EASD and SED strategies, and a concordance of 41-42 % between these strategies and HYPO strategy. Using the three different strategies, the overall proportion of patients achieving glycemic targets was 56-68 %. CONCLUSIONS Individualization of glycemic targets increases the number of patients who are considered adequately controlled. The proposed HYPO strategy identifies a similar proportion of patients that achieve adequate glycemic control than ADA/EASD or SED strategies, but its concordance with these strategies in terms of patient classification is bad.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the degree of glycemic control and its relationship with disease characteristics and antidiabetic treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as the frequency of A1c use. METHODS For this purpose, an observational, cross-sectorial, and multicenter study was performed. A total of 443 patients were monitored in 17 Spanish primary healthcare centers. Demographic and clinical variables were recorded from the clinical history of patients. RESULTS Mean age was 68.9±12.0 years. Time of evolution of DM was 9.2±6.4 years. Mean A1c was 7.38±1.34% and 45% of patients achieved A1c <7%. There was a no significant relationship between the degree of control and time of evolution of DM. In 16% of patients no A1c determination was performed in the previous twelve months. In those patients in whom A1c was determined, 95% received pharmacologic treatment, and 31% insulin therapy. 66% of patients on monotherapy attained A1C <7%, compared with 39% and 23% of those receiving double- and triple-oral therapy, respectively (p<0.001). Only 21% of patients on insulin therapy achieved A1c <7%. The worst-controlled patients were those receiving oral antidiabetic agents and insulin (24% had A1c levels ≥9%). CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of patients are poorly controlled. Poor control increases according to complexity of treatment. A1c is underdetermined in many patients, likely related to clinical inertia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess blood glucose in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with oral antidiabetic drugs in primary care at the time of referral to specialized endocrinologists, and the degree of implementation of the national consensus guidelines of the Spanish Society of Diabetes by evaluating steps one (S1), two (S2), and three (S3) of the escalating therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective, observational study where 81 endocrinologists evaluated patients ≥40 years of age referred from primary care between July 2012 and July 2013, treated with 1 to 2 oral antidiabetic drugs but no insulin therapy, and with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) levels ≥6.5%. Patients also had to have HbA(1c) levels and both fasting and postprandial plasma glucose measurements from the previous three months. RESULTS A total of 285 patients (57.6% males) were assessed. Mean (SD) age was 63.1 (9.7) years, mean HbA1c was 8.5 (1.2) %, mean FPG was 171.7 (43) mg/dL, and mean postprandial plasma glucose was 206.8 (50) mg/dL. In primary care, 26.0% of patients were at S1 and 74.0% were at S2. After referral to the endocrinologist, 9.8% of patients moved onto S1, 42.8% onto S2, and 47.4% onto S3. Oral antidiabetic drugs most commonly prescribed in primary care were metformin (90.2%), DPP-4 inhibitors (34.4%), and sulfonylureas (30.5%), while drugs most commonly used in the specialized endocrinology setting were metformin (86%), insulin (56.8%), and DPP-4 inhibitors (49.8%). The most commonly followed guidelines were those of the American Diabetes Association and the consensus guidelines of the Spanish Society of Diabetes, in 77% and 45% of cases respectively. CONCLUSIONS Approximately half the patients treated with oral antidiabetic drugs in primary care are prescribed insulin after referral to an endocrinology specialist. The most commonly followed guidelines in specialized care are the American Diabetes Association guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Patients with type 2 diabetes and revascularized coronary disease are a group with very high cardiovascular risk that has been rarely studied. This ICP-Bypass substudy analyzes the clinical characteristics and risk factor control of these patients. METHODS The analysis selected patients with type 2 diabetes who had participated in an earlier multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study (ICP-Bypass) conducted in 2293 patients > 18 years of age who had undergone coronary surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention. Demographic and therapeutic variables, as well as clinical and analytical parameters, were collected and comparatively analyzed. RESULTS The mean age (standard deviation) of the 771 diabetic patients included in the analysis was 67.7 (9.6) years (71.4% men; mean time since revascularization, 3.5 years). Most (57.8%) were receiving treatment with oral hypoglycemics alone, whereas 30.4% were receiving insulin alone or in combination. The mean glycohemoglobin figure was 7.1% (in 70%,<7.5%); 74.8% had been diagnosed with dyslipidemia. Mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 93.5 mg/dL (in 73%, > 70 mg/dL). Among these patients, 93.6% were receiving statins and 18.7% a statin combined with ezetimib. A total of 78.1% had been diagnosed with hypertension; systolic/diastolic blood pressure was < 130/80 mmHg in 52% and < 140/90 mmHg in 93%. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular risk and prevention may be improved in revascularized diabetic patients in Spain through further control of risk factors, particularly dyslipidemia. Patients with glycohemoglobin > 7.5% should be individually assessed in terms of glycemic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the degree of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes in Spain and identify factors associated with glycemic control. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional, multicenter, epidemiological study that used consecutive sampling and was conducted in primary care practices in Spain. A total of 5591 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus lasting more than 1 year and who were treated with hypoglycemic agents for more than 3 months were included in the study. At a single visit, HbA1c levels were measured (A1cNow+ system) and demographic and clinical variables related to diabetes and its treatment were recorded. During the visit, CV risk factors (CVRF), the presence of target-organ damage (TOD), the presence of hypoglycemia and body weight changes within the previous year were recorded. RESULTS We analyzed data from 5382 patients (mean age 66.7 [10.8] years, mean duration of the diabetes 8.8 [6.3] years). TOD was present in 43.6% of the patients and 59.1% were taking 2 or more drugs. The patients' mean HbA1c was 7.1 (1.1)%, and 48.6% had HbA1c levels <7.0%. The patients with HbA1c levels ≥7.0% had longer-standing diabetes, a higher prevalence of TOD and CVRF, used more complex therapies, experienced more hypoglycemic episodes in the previous year and had more weight gain. In the multivariate analysis, the absence of insulin treatment, the absence of abdominal obesity and atherogenic dyslipidemia, a duration of the diabetes <10 years and an age >70 years were associated with improved glycemic control. CONCLUSIONS Patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus are highly prevalent in Spain. Factors associated with poorer glycemic control include the complexity of both the disease and the hypoglycemic therapy, a history of hypoglycemia and weight gain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2006, the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes established a consensus algorithm (ADA/EASD-2006) for the adjustment of drug therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). AIMS To study glycaemic control in T2DM patients and the implementation of the ADA/EASD-2006 recommendations in primary care centres in Spain. METHODS Prospective observational study in 1194 patients with T2DM conducted in 250 primary care centres in Spain. Patients were assessed at study inclusion (V0) and at 3 (V1) and 6 months (V2) post baseline. Information was collected at the level of DM control, HbA(1c) < 7% (HbC) and implementation of the ADA/EASD-2006 guidelines. RESULTS Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (53% women; mean age 64.9 years) had a mean (SD) HbA(1c) 7.8 (1.4)% and HbC 25.2% at baseline, 95% of them were receiving oral antihyperglycaemic agents (AAs) only. At V1, HbA(1c) was 7.3 (1.1)% and HbC was 38.1%; 65.0% of patients were receiving oral AAs, 5.6% insulin and 27.9% oral AAs plus insulin. At V2, HbA(1c) was 7.1 (0.9)% and HbC was 48.0%; 57.1% of patients were receiving oral AAs, 5.0% insulin and 36.9% oral AAs plus insulin. The ADA/EASD-2006 algorithm was adhered to in 33% patients up to study month 3, vs. 17.2% throughout the entire 6-month period. CONCLUSION In patients with T2DM seen in primary care, the HbA1c target was met in 48.0% after adjusting their AAs. However, this is not reflected in greater implementation of the ADA/EASD-2006 guidelines, which are adhered to in only 17%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies are available on quality of life and treatment satisfaction of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Both of them were the primary objectives of the PANORAMA (NCT00916513) study. Metabolic control, treatment patterns, and management by healthcare professionals were also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS This multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study randomly recruited>40 year-old patients with T2DM from Spanish healthcare centers. HbA1c was measured using the same technique in all patients, who also completed quality of life (EQ-5D and ADDQoL) and treatment satisfaction (DTSQ) questionnaires and the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS-II). RESULTS Fifty-four investigators recruited 751 patients, 60.3% of whom had HbA1c levels <7%. Approximately 25% of patients on monotherapy had HbA1c values ≥ 7%, Patients with longer disease duration and more complex treatments, especially with insulin, showed the poorer control. Despite good overall treatment satisfaction (mean 29.3±6.1, 0 to 36-point scale), patients with a poorer metabolic control, previous hypoglycemia episodes, and more complex therapies had a worse QoL and a greater fear of suffering hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS Despite advances in metabolic control, there are still areas to improve. Early addition of safe drugs to monotherapy would help achieve control objectives without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia, and delaying the start of insulin therapy. This would also improve QoL and treatment satisfaction.
