Contributing Factors Associated With Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Karbala City, Iraq

Authors

Abstract

A good glycemic control is very important to or prevent or delay early diabetes-related complications in T2DM patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted among total of 320 T2DM patients who were attended the Public Clinics to have their medications and whose ages above 18 years. This study was undertaken between February and June 2024. The epidemiological and clinical data was collected by direct interview with the patients and by using a structured validated questionnaire which consist of 2 parts. The first part consists of the Socio-demographic characteristics of the patients such as (age, gender, marital status, education, residence, occupation, a family income, physical activity, healthy diet and medication adherence while the second part consist of T2DM related variables including: duration, family history, co-morbid illness, FBS, HbA1C,lipid profile, type of management and BMI. SPSS version-22 was used for statistical analysis of data, suitable tables and graphs was used to expressed the frequency data. Pearson’s chi-square test of independence was used to test statistical association and to identify the significant independent and un-confounded risk factors logistic regression analysis was used, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Among total 320 patients with T2DM, (47.8%) of them aged more than 60 years, (62.2%) males, (82.5%) married. (36.9%) had monthly income (≥ 500.000 I.D), about (60%) had secondary school and college education. about 63% of them had Poor glycemic control. After applying the chi-square, the low educational level of the patients, uncontrolled Physical activity irregular self-monitoring, dyslipidemia,co-morbid diseases factor, un controlled diet, obese patients, long duration of the disease, were significant predictors of poor rate control(P < 0.05 ). On applying logistic regression analysis, low educational level of the patients ( OR =1.495, p = 0.001), uncontrolled Physical activity, irregular self-monitoring, Dyslipidemia were the main factors associated with poor glycemic control in patients with DM2.
