Abstract

Aim. To analyze one-year typical management practice in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in cities, towns, and villages. Subjects and methods. 438 records of T2DM outpatients regularly visiting their physicians during 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Group 1 included 221 outpatients from 7 polyclinics of the Kirov Regional Center; Group 2 consisted of 227 patients from 36 districts of the Kirov Region. VEN-, ABC-, and frequency analyses were made; the costs of drug therapy and hospitalization for the included patients were calculated. Results. The investigation revealed the low efficiency of sugar-lowering therapy (SLT), insufficient glycated hemoglobin testing rates (15% in Group 2 during a year), inadequate correction of SLT. During one year the number of patients with fixed target office blood pressure levels in Group 1 increased from 16.6 to 34.1% (р
