If the patients or relatives abandoned the program, we contacted them and asked to take laboratory tests and answer surveys regarding anxiety, depression, and perception of their family support. Variables distribution was assessed with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. We used ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis Tests, according to variable distribution. Frequencies and percentages are used for categorical values and analyzed with a chi-square test. We separated the participants in four groups: relatives with and without support and PDM with and without support.Results: We included 160 participants, age 51± 10, and 54.3% women. Total cholesterol (188± 36 vs 204± 43 vs 170± 34 vs 181± 35 mg/dL, p=0.001), LDL-cholesterol (113± 35 vs 125± 27 vs 101 ± 30 vs 109± 29, p=0.008), and non-HDL cholesterol (143± 32 vs 154 ± 30 vs 129± 33 vs 135± 35 mg/dL, p=0.010) were higher in the group without support. Although patients without family support had lower values, they did not achieve metabolic goals. Weight (75± 17 vs 77± 19 vs 74.2± 10.5 vs 90.2± 17.3 kg) and body mass index (28.9± 4.8 vs 30.1± 4.7 vs 27.4± 3.3 vs 33± 4.3 kg/m2) were higher in PDM without family support (p< 0.001 for both).Conclusion: Support in PDM and their families is important in metabolic control. However, raising awareness among family members to screen for diabetes and changes in lifestyle are points to improve. Including the evaluation of social and family support will allow a more complete assessment to identify barriers to achieving goals.Keywords: family support, social support, relatives, patients, type 2 diabetes |
