title: Barometer of type 2 diabetes in primary care. Metabolic control, styles of life and morbidity profile.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Knowing the profile of cardiovascular morbidity, degree of control and lifestyles in type 2 diabetes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Randomized multicenter cross-sectional study conducted in 2015 in primary care with 129 diabetics. It included sociodemographic variables, microvascular and macrovascular complications, organic damage, comorbidity and lifestyles of smoking, exercise and adherence to Mediterranean diet. Metabolic control was assessed with the latest annual glycosylated haemoglobin.
  
  
  RESULTS
  57% were men and 43% women. Metabolic control was acceptable (HbAc1%, 7.15%) without differences by town. 74.4% had cardiovascular comorbidity and the 99.2% risk factors. 23% were smokers and 41% sedentary with a 56% adherence to Mediterranean diet.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The cardiometabolic profile of diabetes includes retinopathy, peripheral arterial disease, comorbidity of hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors. Individual or group health education in self-care and healthy lifestyles can improve metabolic control.
