ABSTRACT Objective: determine the prevalence of Effective Universal Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 in Chile and its relation with the variables: Health Care Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2; Average of diabetics with metabolic control in 2011-2013; Mortality Rate for Diabetes Mellitus; and Percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program. Method: cross-sectional descriptive study with ecological components that uses documentary sources of the Ministry of Health. It was established that there is correlation between the Universal Effective Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and the independent variables; it was applied the Pearson Coefficient, being significant at the 0.05 level. Results: in Chile Universal Health Care Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (HbA1c<7% estimated population) is less than 20%; this is related with Mortality Rate for Diabetes Mellitus and Percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program, being significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: effective prevalence of Universal Health Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is low, even though some regions stand out in this research and in the metabolic control of patients who participate in health control program; its relation with percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program represents a challenge and an opportunity for the health system.

BACKGROUND: Haemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) levels and uric acid levels may be associated. AIM: This study aimed to determine Hba1c, and uric acid levels are associated among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 who attend a primary health care clinic in North Sumatera, Indonesia. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study among patients was conducted on 70 type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients who attended Primary Health Care in Binjai. Patients with age > 40 years old attend a primary health care clinic in Binjai city, North Sumatera with diabetes mellitus type 2. In each subject demographics, age, sex, body mass index, blood pressure, post health history, fasting blood sugar, Hba1c and uric acid levels were checked and recorded. A student’s t-test was used to determine if there was an association between Hba1 and uric acid levels. A total of 70 were included in this study. RESULTS: The mean age of study subjects was 58.33. The mean Hba1c level was 8.743, and standard deviation (SD) was 1.80. The mean of uric acid was 6.31, and standard deviation (SD) was 1.58. The statistical analysis using T-test found that there was no significant association between Hba1c and uric acid levels among study subjects (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: We found no significant association between Hba1c and uric acid levels among the study subjects.
