Background: the prevalence of failure in the metabolic control in diabetic patients and the risk factors associated with it in the city of Bucaramanga are not known. Material and Methods: cross- sectional analytical study which measured the prevalence of no metabolic control in type 2 diabetic patients, from the promotion and prevention of cardiovascular risk program in a Health Promoting Company in Bucaramanga. The no metabolic control was measured by glycosylated hemoglobin (greater than 7.0 %). the effects of the assessed variables (personal, clinical and perception of care) were estimated through prevalence ratios (PR) and a multivariate model. Results: 484 patients were included, of whom 407 had Hba1c record during the 3 months preceding the survey. the prevalence of no metabolic control was 65%. the variables associated with this outcome with p < 0.05 were: history of dyslipidemia: Pr 1.14 (Ci 1.00-1.32), non-adherence to medication: Pr 1.6 (Ci 1.01-1.34), having between 50 and 65 years: RP 1.16 (Ci 1.01-1.34), consuming more than six medication tablets daily : RP 1.22 (Ci 1.06-1.41), being unemployed: PR 1.38 (CI 1.09-1.76), assist sometimes accompanied to the medical consultation: PR 1.29 (CI 1.08-1.53), use of drugs for gastritis: Pr 1.24 (95% CI 1.07-1.42), more than 10 years' duration of diabetes: PR 1.35 (95% 1.08-1.42), more than two tablets daily of hypoglycemic drugs: PR 1.29 (CI 1.12-1.48), and use of insulin: PR 1.29 (95% CI 1.12-1.47). The variables or factors that were included in the final multivariate model were: inappropriate use of drugs, use of drugs for gastritis, insulin use, duration of diabetes for more than ten years and non-dietary compliance. Conclusions: we found a high proportion of diabetic patients with poor metabolic control associated with disease-related factors such as duration of diabetes, drugs, diet and insulin. Other personal factors were: low family support, lack of financial support and being unemployed. (Acta Med Colomb 2013; 38: 213-221).
