To evaluate management approach and outcome in two endocrinologist-managed clinics using data on treatment adherence, diabetes-specific parameters, prescribed medications and self-management practices among ambulatory type 2 diabetes patients. Opinion on cause(s) and perceived fear about diabetes were also explored.
A cross-sectional prospective study using semi-structured interview among consented patients for eightweek, and a review of participants' case notes at 3-month post-interactive contact for details of diabetes-specific parameters and antidiabetes medications.
The University College Hospital (UCH) and Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC) in southwestern Nigeria.
Adult patients with type 2 diabetes, on therapies for >3-month and who had average fasting blood glucose (FBG)>6.0mmol/L were enrolled. All patients with type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes who decline participation were excluded. Out of 185 participants who were approached, 176(95.1%) consented and completed the study including 113(64.2%) from UCH and 63(35.8%) in OAUTHC.
Mean FBG for patients were 9.6mmol/L in UCH and 11.0mmol/L in OAUTHC (p=0.03). Medication adherence among patients was 47(46.5%) in UCH and 31(52.5%) in OAUTHC (p=0.46). Prescribed antidiabetes medications between the clinics significantly differ. Practice of self-monitoring of blood glucose among participants was 26(23.0%) in UCH and 13(20.6%) in OAUTHC (p=0.72). Thirty-two participants (29.4%) in UCH and 33(43.4%) from OAUTHC (p=0.02) mentioned complications as perceived fear about type 2 diabetes.
There are differences and similarities between the diabetes-specialty clinics with respect to diabetes management and outcome. This underscores the necessity for a protocol-driven treatment approach in ensuring improved diabetes care and outcome.

利用门诊2型糖尿病患者的治疗依从性、糖尿病特异性参数、处方药物和自我管理实践数据,评估两家由内分泌科医生管理的诊所的管理方法和治疗效果。同时探讨糖尿病病因及患者的恐惧看法。
一项横断面前瞻性研究,对同意参与的患者进行为期八周的半结构化访谈,并在互动接触后3个月查阅参与者的病历,以获取糖尿病特异性参数和抗糖尿病药物的详细信息。
尼日利亚西南部的大学学院医院(UCH)和奥巴费米·阿沃洛沃大学教学医院综合院区(OAUTHC)。
入选2型糖尿病成年患者,接受治疗超过3个月,平均空腹血糖(FBG)>6.0mmol/L。排除所有1型糖尿病患者以及拒绝参与的2型糖尿病患者。在185名被邀请的参与者中,176名(95.1%)同意并完成了研究,其中UCH的有113名(64.2%),OAUTHC的有63名(35.8%)。
UCH患者的平均空腹血糖为9.6mmol/L,OAUTHC患者为11.0mmol/L(p=0.03)。UCH患者的用药依从性为47名(46.5%),OAUTHC患者为31名(52.5%)(p=0.46)。两家诊所的处方抗糖尿病药物有显著差异。参与者中自我血糖监测的比例UCH为仅26名(23.0%),OAUTHC为13名(20.6%)(p=0.72)。UCH的32名参与者(29.4%)和OAUTHC的33名参与者(43.4%)(p=0.02)提到并发症是对2型糖尿病的恐惧看法。
糖尿病专科诊所在糖尿病管理和治疗效果方面存在异同。这凸显了采用协议驱动治疗方法以确保改善糖尿病护理和治疗效果的必要性。
