AB  - The objective of this study was to assess current treatment patterns, blood 
      glucose test strip usage, and treatment compliance in patients with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in primary care centers in Spain, and to assess factors 
      related to glycemic control. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 
      patients with T2DM and measured treatment compliance using the Morisky-Green 
      questionnaire. 294 patients were included in the study from a population of 
      patients attending 30 primary care centers throughout Spain. Results showed that 
      the majority of patients were treated with oral monotherapy (36%) and oral 
      combination therapy (35%). Less than half of the patients had good glycemic 
      control (HbA(1c) </= 6.5%). Half of the patients treated pharmacologically 
      reported good compliance with treatment. Logistic regression analyses performed 
      to identify factors associated with glycemic control showed that high body mass 
      index (BMI) and poor compliance were the strongest predictors of poor HbA(1c) 
      control (OR: 2.198 and 1.789, respectively, p < 0.05). In conclusion, in the 
      course of managing diabetes, physicians and patients should attempt to improve 
      compliance and lower BMI, which could lead to better glycemic control.
