Abstract

Introduction: Failed glycemic control is associated to ≥7% glycosylated hemoglobin values, and is related to a high complications’ prevalence, getting patient’s life at risk. Aim: Establish the association between glycemic control with family functionality and disease knowledge in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients who came to Sinincay health center in the year 2017 - 2018. Methods and materials: An analytical cross sectional study was performed, in which 102 Sinincay health center’s diabetic patients were examined, glycosylated hemoglobin was done, along with ECODI test to assess diabetes knowledge level and FF-SIL test for family functionality, being previously validated. Statistical analysis was made with SPSS version 23 program, evaluating patients who met diabetic club belonging criteria, and the Helsinki agreement was respected. Results: The ruling features were female genre, early elders, married people and elementary education level, failed metabolic control’s frequency was 51% with a female genre prevalence. Regarding knowledge, medium level preponderated with 67,6%, and moderate family functionality with 63,7%; knowledge was adversely correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin r=-0,245 p=0,014, bigger knowledge less hemoglobin and family functionality was favorably correlated, bigger functionality bigger knowledge r=0,197 p=0,048. Conclusion: Lower knowledge level regarding diabetes has a negative effect in patient’s glycemic control, and at the same time family dysfunctionality influences a lower knowledge
