Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the association between the degree of perceived family support (PFS) and glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Cross-sectional study, non-probabilistic sampling was carried out among patients with DM2 from UMF No. 77 from Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas. Mexico. A sample of 210 patients who met the inclusion criteria was obtained. After informed consent, sociodemographic characteristics and determination of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were obtained, establishing values ​​of <6.5% as glycemic control. A validated instrument was applied to evaluate the degree of PFS (mild, moderate, high). Results: Of the total of 186 patients, 36% had good glycemic control. 26.3% presented complications of the disease and were associated with poor glycemic control. Patients with low PFS had twice the risk of poor glycemic control compared to patients with moderate and high levels of PFS. Conclusions: Family support is crucial for glucose control in patients with DM2, in turn the complications of the disease are associated with poor glycemic control.
