Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with high prevalence worldwide and is considered a major cardiovascular risk factor. Objective To determine cardiovascular risk factors in adults with controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. Material and methods Retrospective descriptive study with 560 diabetic patients. Data regarding age, gender, how long the disease had lasted, cardiovascular risk factors, and laboratory findings were gathered. The study included patients of both sexes treated between 2024 and 2025. Chi-square and Mann Whitney U tests were applied. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify cardiovascular risk factors in patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. A pvalue 65 years of age had hypertension as a risk factor. In the 51-65 age group, 60% had three risk factors (hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia). 57.9% of patients were female. The average duration of the disease is >10 years, and more than 50% of patients have poor metabolic control (HbA1c >7%). 85% of patients receive nephroprotection with ARA II. Albuminuria 65 years old, duration of the disease >10 years, and hypertension. Albuminuria and chronic kidney disease are associated with T2D regardless of metabolic control.
