Abstract	Introduction: Despite advances in managing diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1), 60% to 90% of patients have poor glycemic control and 10% to 30% reported low adherence to insulin. The objectives of this thesis was to identify factors associated with high levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and a better understanding of adherence to insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes in Brazil. Methods: We conducted a crosssectional, multicenter study, with patients ≥18 years old, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes treated at health centers in 10 cities in Brazil. We obtained sociodemographic, behavioral and clinical data, knowledge about diabetes and satisfaction with treatment through interviews. We measured HbA1c for all participants. It was considered inadequate glycemic control when HbA1c >7.0%. We analyzed self-perception of adherence to insulin in three categories: fair/poor, good and excellent. Multivariate linear regression models were used to identify hierarchical factors associated with HbA1c levels and multivariate models multinomial regression were used to identify factors associated with adherence to insulin. Results: Among the 979 patients studied, 63% were female and the average age was 40 years (SD: 14.56). The mean HbA1c was 9.4% (SD: 2.2) and 89.6% of patients had inadequate glycemic control. Last year did not participate in class/lecture on diabetes, not to visit a doctor in private practice and not have dosed HbA1c, as well as low education and perception poor adherence to diet and insulin, were factors independently associated with higher levels HbA1c. Self-perception of adherence to insulin was the variable most strongly associated with increased levels of HbA1c (β = 1.385, 95% CI: 0.764, 2.007). We reported adherence to fair/poor, good and excellent insulin by 5.8%, 15.1% and 79.1% of patients, respectively. Age between 30-49 years old, female, low education, good adhesion and excellent diet, satisfaction with current treatment, HbA1c measurement in the last year, medical follow-up with an endocrinologist, regular monitoring of blood glucose and more than 10 years of disease were independently associated with good or excellent perception of adherence to insulin. Conclusion: Although only 5.8% of patients to report fair/poor perception of adherence to insulin approximately 90% of patients had HbA1c >7.0%. Our findings suggest that behavioral factors, access to information and qualified assistance appear to be determinants of glycemic control and adherence to insulin. Thus, diabetes control programs should cover multifactorial actions include health education and the importance of adherence to insulin and good glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes in Brazil.
