Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among adults with type 2 diabetes in primary care settings.
- It evaluated 1,319 adults and found a 39.2% prevalence of CKD, with significant rates of albuminuria and differing prevalence based on age and diabetes onset.
- Key risk factors identified included age, male sex, diabetes duration, hypertension, retinopathy, and use of metformin, highlighting the need for early detection strategies in primary care.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of multicomponent integrated care (MIC) delivery program in a primary care real-life setting on diabetes care goals.
Methods: Patients with T2D and usual primary care from the public health system in Mexico were invited to participate in a five-month ambulatory MIC quality initiative (DIAbetes Empowerment and Improvement of Care program, DIABEMPIC).
Results: 841 patients who finished the program and with complete data were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) impacts the quality of life, and this study used Sudoscan to evaluate its prevalence and connection to metabolic factors in patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed for less than 5 years.
- A total of 2,243 patients were assessed; while traditional tests showed 29% abnormal results, Sudoscan identified 27.6% with sudomotor dysfunction, revealing associations with age, blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, and medication.
- Although Sudoscan showed limited diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity of 24% and specificity of 71%, it successfully identified many patients for early intervention to prevent complications.

Background: Adherence to medications is a critical element in diabetes management.
Objective: To investigate patient-related factors associated with adherence to antidiabetic treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes in primary health-care units.
Methods: A cross-sectional study among patients receiving diabetes care in 18 primary care units in Mexico City was conducted.
Influence of social determinants, diabetes knowledge, health behaviors, and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes: an analysis from real-world evidence.
BMC Endocr Disord
August 2020
Background: Although important achievements have been done in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) treatment and glycemic control, new strategies may take advantage of non-pharmacological approaches and of other potential determinants of health (e.g., socioeconomic status, education, diabetes knowledge, physical activity, and self-care behavior).
