Medically recorded complications ranged from 11.1% (1 complication) to 4.2% with ≥ 3 complications. Nearly 22.0% of patients reported one complication, whilst 9.2% reported ≥ 3 complications. Foot care (0.0% - 3.9%) and eye screening (0.0% - 1.1%) were least monitored. Blood pressure (87.7%) and weight (86.6%) were the best monitored risk factors.

There were 379 patients in the survey, 372 (97.9%) had HTN whilst 159 (41.9%) had T2D and HTN 361 medical records were reviewed. Potential determinants of complications were explored through logistic regression. Statistical Software for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used to analyse risk factor monitoring and calculate prevalence of complications. Urban Township in Cape Town, South Africa.Ĭross-sectional survey combined with a 10-year retrospective medical records analysis of adult T2D/HTN patients attending two CDMPs, using a structured survey questionnaire and an audit tool. We assessed risk factor monitoring, prevalence and determinants of diabetes related complications amongst type-2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HTN) patients attending two CDMPs. However, the effectiveness of these clubs remains unclear in terms of disease risk factor monitoring and complication prevention.

South Africa established chronic disease management programmes (CDMPs) called 'clubs' to ensure quality diabetes care.
