      Abstract
      Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of a community-based intensive multifactorial clinical intervention for patients with Type 2 diabetes, to evaluate the feasibility of achieving clinical targets for glycemic control in a community setting, and to identify factors that are predictive of glycemic control in this cohort (age, gender, disease duration, continuity of care, pharmacologic treatment, diabetes self-care and smoking status). Methods: Participants with Type 2 diabetes referred to the Diabetes Clinic following dissemination of the 2003 Clinical Practice Guidelines of Canadian Diabetes Association and who attended a minimum of two physician visits within a twelve month period were deemed eligible for participation. 70 patients were included in this retrospective study. Baseline and twelve month values for the following biomedical outcomes were collected via chart audit: BMI, hemoglobin Ale, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic) and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol, TC:HDL ratio). Data for identification of predictive factors for glycemic control were also retrieved by chart audit. Results: The results of the paired t-test yielded a significant improvement in hemoglobin Ale (p < 0.05), systolic blood pressure (p < 0.0l), HDL-cholesterol (p
