Evaluation of Comprehensive Care in the Management of Diabetes in Chronic Patients from Family and Internal Medicine

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a high global prevalence, whose comprehensive care requires coordinated strategies between family and internal medicine. This study evaluates the efficacy of a comprehensive care model in chronic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, based on health promotion, interdisciplinary management, and continuous follow-up. Through a 12-month observational analysis, metabolic indicators, treatment adherence and quality of life were compared in patients treated under a comprehensive model versus a conventional approach. The results show significant improvements in glycemic control and quality of life in the group with comprehensive care. This approach reinforces the need for patient-centered care to optimize clinical outcomes in diabetes.
