Relationship of the level of educational instruction with the glycemic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients of the Alberto Correa Cornejo Hospital from January to December 2017
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic disease, whose prevalence in the Ecuadorian population from 10 to 59 years is 1.7% same that is increasing from 30 years. The glycemic control of the disease is a key point to avoid acute and chronic complications, which in turn has a fundamental role in the economic field of the country, for this reason we consider it important to look for conditions that affect this glycemic control and within these conditions the level of educational instruction could be one of the determinants. The objective of this research is to determine if there is a relationship between the level of educational instruction and the control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The materials and methods were the selection of 185 patients, of which 141 were included in the main analysis to measure the relationship of the level of educational instruction with glycemic control, taking the glycocylated hemoglobin value as an indicator, obtaining a directly proportional relationship, with a chi-square of 3.91. It is concluded that at a lower educational level worse glycemic control of diabetes mellitus type 2. Therefore, greater intervention in this area is required by the health and education system
