Although the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has lain specific target levels for glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure and serum low density cholesterol to be achieved by non-pregnant patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, these are not being achieved in practice. We took on this study to describe the extent of ADA target achievement at our center.Methods: We analyzed data of type 2 diabetes patients who attended the endocrinology clinic at our hospital within the past 1 year from the start of the study. Data of the pregnant women and patients with mentions of conditions that might interfere with measurement of HbA1c were excluded.Results: We analyzed 336 records, 45.8% (n=154) males and 54.16% (n=182) females. The mean age of patients was 52.28± 11.9 years. The percentages of patients who had HbA1c < 7%, blood pressure < 140/90 mm of Hg, and LDL-c < 100 mg/dL were 56.5%, 72%, and 56.3%, respectively. Only 37.8% of patients were found to have achieved all three ADA targets. Our findings show that a higher percentage of patients who were ≥ 50 years of age met LDL-c goals as compared to those < 50 years of age, 61.9% vs 49% (P< 0.05) and that blood pressure control was better among younger age group, 78.9% vs 66.7% (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Our study highlights that a significant proportion of patients missed on achieving the ADA targets. This is worrisome and further studies should be done to find out possible reasons behind this.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, American Diabetes Association targets, NepalBaranwal JKMaskey RChaudhari RKSherchand ODove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetes mellitusamerican diabetes association targetsnepalSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2959-2964 (2020)
