OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome component in a secondary care service for users with Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), adopting control of arterial blood pressure (ABP), glycated hemoglobin and low density lipoprotein as indicators. METHODS: A retrospective chart review involving the analysis of these indicators, obtained in the years between 2007 and 2009, based on the consultation of 108 medical records of users from a secondary care service, conducted in the evaluation of health care. RESULTS: The results showed that 30.3% of the users reached the goal for glycated hemoglobin, 48.1% for arterial blood pressure, and 42.3% for the low density lipoprotein. CONCLUSION: The data evaluated were similar to those found in other international and national investigations, with a large proportion of the users with DM2 studied, presenting with control of hemoglobin A1c levels, ABP and LDL-C, lower than those recommended in the consensus.
