/Objectives   The examination of Urinary Malondialdehyde (UMDA) as a biomarker in the involvement of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, as a mechanism underlying the development of diabetes; in addition to complications in followed-up patients at a primary healthcare unit. The level of UMDA and its related factors in T2DM patients, between good and poor glycemic control was investigated.Methods   This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the primary care unit, of Songklanagarind Hospital; from May 2020 to August 2020. The voluntary patients were divided into 2 groups, by using a percentage of HbA1c ≤7% as a good control T2DM group, and higher than 7% as a poor control T2DM group. The comparison statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed by using R Program.Results   A total of 71 patients voluntarily participated in this study, and consisted of: 38 patients with poor glycemic control and 33 patients with good glycemic control. There were no significant differences between the patients; with the exception of smoking habits. The average levels of UMDA of the good control group (2.43 ± 0.91 μg/mL) were slightly lower than the poor control group (2.60 ± 0.96 μg/mL): P-value &gt;.05. Patients who had underlying diseases, smoking, or drinking habits displayed significantly different levels of UMDA. Being a non-smoking patients, and having a higher level of HDL-C with significant protective factors, while having increased level of FBS and triglyceride were pointedly negative factors of oxidative stress status.Conclusion   Patients who had good control of T2DM produced better health outcomes than the poor control group. UMDA, FBS, HDL-C, and triglyceride levels could be applied as follow-up criteria in T2DM patients within a primary healthcare setting.
