“…In this study, the magnitude of overall poor self-care practice was 45.7% (95% Cl 40.9–51%); which is consistent with studies conducted in Dilla University Hospital [19], Nekemte referral Hospital [10], Mekele and Ayder Referral Hospital, Ethiopia [20], and India [21] which were (44%, 45%, 49% and 50.5%) respectively. However, it is higher than a study conducted in Addis Ababa (39.7%) [21].…”

Unable to read and write (AOR = 3.63, 95% CI 1.33–9.89, p = 0.011), never had a diabetic health education (AOR = 4.09, 95% CI 1.89, 8.84, p = 0.000), not having glucometer (AOR = 2.66, 95% CI 1.30, 5.46 p = 0.007), poor diabetic knowledge (AOR = 5.01, 95% CI 2.44, 10.28, p = 0.000), poor self-efficacy (AOR = 3.00, 95% CI 1.76, 5.11, p = 0.000) and not having social support (AOR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.08, 3.13, p = 0.023) were significantly associated with poor self-care practice of diabetes patients.

“…[33][34][35] This improved practice of self-care observed in the study is similar to other studies where there was remarkable improvement in attitude and knowledge among DM patients in Turkey after intervention. 36,38 Diabetes patients who are educated and counseled about knowledge and practice of selfcare helped to strongly take care of their activities. Selfcare interventions play fundamental roles in life-style, dietary and behavioural changes.…”

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is on the increase in Nigeria; consequently, there is a need to promote self-care practices among all patients. The study aimed to evaluate outcomes of diabetes care intervention on knowledge and practice of self-care among diabetes patients in rural and urban healthcare facilities in Edo State. Materials and Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional, data on knowledge and practice of selfcare among Diabetes patients were collected using self-developed and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire. Analysis was both descriptive and inferential. Paired t-test was performed to compare the results from diabetes patients from General Hospital (GH), Abudu and Specialist Hospital (SH), Benin, and results were considered significant with P<0.05. Results: There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the knowledge of self-care among patients. Diabetes patients in specialist hospital, Benin had a better knowledge of self-care (mean score >3) than those in general hospital, Abudu. Diabetes patients from general hospital, Abudu (rural) comply more with a mean practice of diabetes self-care in general exercise (5.58±1.42) and specific exercises (5.44±0.98). Diabetes patients from specialist hospital, Benin test their blood sugars themselves and the number of times recommended. After 6 months of educational intervention on diabetes care, knowledge and practice of diabetes selfcare improved significantly (p<0.05) across the various domains, but with better performance in specialist hospital, Benin. Conclusion: The study justifies a low quality of diabetes care delivery in both rural and urban health care facilities and significantly improved with educational interventions.

“…And this finding supported by several studies reported the past. 5,7,15,16 Some of the limitations encountered were lack of standard or clear dietary guidelines put in place for diabetes mellitus patients and recall bias may be introduced since the study participants may fail to remember their eating practice of the week.…”

Objectives: This study tried to assess the level of dietary knowledge and practice and associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in public hospitals of Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 253 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients visiting follow-up clinic in public hospitals selected by systematic random sampling. Primary data were collected by face-to-face interview and checklist. The collected data were entered into SPSS version 22 and analyzed using proportion, percentage, and mean and standard deviation. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify candidate variables affecting dietary practice. Finally, all candidate independent variables were further adjusted on multivariate regression analysis with adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval to identify factors independently associated with dietary practice. p-value ⩽0.05 declared as level of significance. Results: The level of poor dietary practice among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was found to be 53.8%. Around 78.8% of participants had fasting blood sugar level ⩾130 mg/dL, and 52.8% found to have poor dietary knowledge. Moreover, there was no up-to-date nutritional guideline in follow-up clinic. Not getting nutrition advice from doctors/nurses, low duration of follow-up, lack of family support, and despondency were significantly associated with poor dietary practice ( p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: More than half of diabetes patients had poor dietary practice, which is in contrary with international recommendations of diabetic self-care. Habit of eating fruits and vegetables was poorly practiced and also patients’ knowledge of recommended nutrition was poor. Therefore, provision of robust nutritional education and counseling service, a system to strengthen family support as well as psychosocial support, is highly recommended.
