AB  - OBJECTIVE: Our study investigated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) outpatients 
      attending a university hospital in Montes Claros, MG, to estimate the prevalence 
      of risk factors and their association with diabetes complications. METHOD: This 
      was a quantitative, documental, retrospective and analytical study. Medical 
      records of 95 outpatients with T2DM treated in this hospital from 2011 to 2015 
      were analyzed. Data were collected according to a structured questionnaire 
      surveying sociodemographic, anthropometric and biochemical data and clinical and 
      lifestyle aspects. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the association 
      between risk factor variables and complications. RESULTS: With a mean age of 54 
      years, the study population showed irregular blood glucose control, despite the 
      use of hypoglycemic medication, and did not have a healthy lifestyle. The main 
      complication reported was high blood pressure (HBP), occurring in 70.9% of 
      patients. The prevalence of complications was positively associated with patients 
      receiving insulin treatment (p=0.042) and multidisciplinary monitoring (p=0.050). 
      CONCLUSION: The associations identified reflect the condition of patients that 
      were already treating diabetes and its complications, especially HBP. The 
      characteristics of the study population indicate the need to improve clinical 
      follow-up and increase motivation for healthy behaviors.
