Özet

Objectives: The present study is a snapshot of how diabetic patients are treated for diabetes and coexisting cardiovascular risk factors in Turkey. We also adressed the question of what percentage of these patients are treated appropriately according to the current guidelines. Next step will be to determine which pharmacological treatment strategies affect mortality and morbidity in these patients and whether there are regional differences in these outcomes.
