Intervención terapéutica para lograr el control glucémico en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to increase the glycemic control of diabetic patients belonging to the Fausto Molina citadel, Riobamba canton, Chimborazo province. The study contemplated a longitudinal and quasi-experimental design. A therapeutic intervention was applied that included educational and assistance actions based on conducting educational talks, comprehensive assessment of patients and determination of glycemic control by performing complementary tests. Several questionnaires were applied to obtain information related to the variables included in the investigation, which were applied during the beginning of the investigation (pretest) and after the intervention (posttest). The McNemar non-parametric test was determined to determine changes in the level of glycemic control of the patients. There was a predominance of female patients (73.58%), between 60 and 79 years of age (47.18%), with time of evolution of the disease older than 3 years (58.49%) and with high presence of Comorbidities and associated harmful habits (64.15%), among which the following stood out: high blood pressure, overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome. The therapeutic intervention applied caused significant changes in the improvement of glycemic control of diabetic patients included in the study. It is recommended to standardize and / or protocolize the pharmacological indications in diabetic patients taking into account core elements such as the clinical form and the presence of some comorbidities or damage to target organs due to other conditions.
