Factors associated with glycemic control among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Bangkok Hospital Bangkok
Abstract:
This hospital based case-control study was conducted to ascertain the factors
associated with glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Data were collected
by using interviewed questionnaires and some data were copied from patients medical
records (OPD card). The study group comprised a control group and an experimental
group each with 100 glycemic patients who received treatment at Bangkok Diabetes and
Endocrine Center of Bangkok Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, between May and September
2007.
Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to calculate adjusted odds ratio.
Factors associated with glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were family
history of type 2 diabetes (ORadj = 3.68, 95%CI = 1.41-9.64), BMI≥23.0 kg/m2 (ORadj =
4.25, 95%CI = 1.01-17.94), physical inactivity (ORadj = 25.99, 95%CI = 9.01-74.94),
moderate drug compliance (ORadj = 4.97, 95%CI = 1.15-21.51), low vegetable intake
(ORadj = 2.92, 95%CI = 1.07-8.00), and coffee consumption (ORadj = 9.53, 95%CI =
2.98-30.44).
Therefore, the data showed that the patients should be consuming high fiber
from vegetable and unsweet fruits, little carbohydrate, little meat, and 1-2 glasses of low
fat milk per day. They should avoid intake from the fat group according to the Thai Food
Flag. For carbohydrate, they should be eating brown rice, oats, and whole wheat bread.
Moreover, they should undertake regular physical activity, not forget to take the
recommended medicines, and avoid coffee consumption with added sugar and cream.
