Introduction: Glycemic goal achievement is a matter of great health impact. Adequate glycemic control prevents and decreases diabetes chronic complications and prolongs survival. Aims: To investigate the percentage of people with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) who reach the treatment goal (A1c) and the variables associated with achieving the glycemic goal. Material and methods: Multicenter, descriptive, observational cross-sectional study in 28 centers specialized in Diabetes in Argentina (FRADYC III Group), year 2018. Physical examination, laboratory and treatment of T2D were evaluated in routine practice. The glycemic goal was A1c < 7%. We evaluated adherence to pharmacological treatment with the Morisky-Green-Levine test and quality of life with the WHO-5 test, considering a low well-being score of less than 50 and symptoms of depression less than 28. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression of factors associated with lower achievement of treatment goals were performed. We considered age groups (under 50 ys, between 50 to 65 ys and over 65 ys). Any value of p< 0.05 (2 tails) was considered significant with the STATA Intercooler Software.
