Diabetes care quality according to facility setting: A cross-sectional analysis in six Peruvian regions

Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health problem, with about 422 million cases in 2014 worldwide, of which 46% are not aware of their diagnosis [1]. Diabetes care includes glycaemic and metabolic control in order to diminish morbidity and mortality from diabetic complications [2], and guidelines recommend that nonpregnant adults with diabetes have regular assessments of fasting glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), plasma serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), creatinine or microalbumin, foot evaluation, and eye evaluation [3].
