Method: Associations between glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin A lower or equal to 7%) presented by people with DM and variables related to sociode-mographic conditions, lifestyle, characteristics of diabetes, treatment and follow-up of patients by health services were investigated by multiple regression. Results: More than 65% of the participants presented inadequate glycemic control, especially those with lower age, longer illness duration, more annual contacts with FHS and complex therapeutic regimen. People with DM without referrals to specialists presented greater glycemic control. Associations with education level and obesity did not remain significant in the multivariate model. Conclusion: The evolution of diabetes hinders adequate control, however, attention to younger people with DM and referrals to specialists are factors that can improve glycemic control. specialized Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Primary Health Care Hemoglobin A Glycosylated Family Health Strategy BRESIL 054 050 50 6 937-944 2016 0080-6234 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069246 10.1590/s0080-623420160000700009 0080-6234 [F B010069246] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069246 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers17-03/010069246.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-04-04 2017-08-23 fdi:010069246 fre
