Objective:To investigate the current state of treatment and management of diabetic patients in the outpatient of our hospital. Methods:Outpatients treated for 12 months or longer were enrolled in our study. Demographic data,treatment information,routine tests,and chronic complications were collected through outpatient interview and case history investigation. Results:Total 257 patients were enlisted,whose average age was(61.8 ± 12.3) years and HbAlc average value was(7.3 ± 1.5)%. The standard-meeting rate of blood glucose,blood pressure and lipid profile was higher than those of investigation results in 2003 China(P < 0.05). Cataract,diabetic neuropathy and microalbuminuria ranked top three complications among all ones. Major factors affecting the standard-meeting rate of blood glucose were smoking,diet,exercise,education,duration of diabetes and level of literacy. Conclusion:The standard-meeting rate of blood glucose,blood pressure and lipid profile among diabetic patients in our outpatients in 2005 was higher than the national average level in 2003. 72.7% of diabetic patients failed in achieving optimal glycemic control. Thus,it is still important to promote education on diabetes to prevent the advanced complications.
