Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a growing health threat globally. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that 387 million adults had diabetes in 2014, and this number is expected to continue to grow. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of T2DM over time has increased. Diabetes knowledge has been shown to improve self-management skills and glycemic control. The primary goal of this study was to assess diabetes knowledge and its impact on diabetes control and complications.

“…According to the American Association of Diabetes Educators [11], there are seven essential behaviors of self care: Healthy eating (healthy diet), being active (enough physical activity), monitoring (blood glucose control), taking medicine (antidiabetic medication or insulin), problem solving, healthy coping, and reducing risk. The seven behaviors have a positive correlation with controllable blood glucose levels, reduce complications, and improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes.…”

Abstract-Diabetes has become the fastest growing chronic disease in the world. Therefore, in order to manage it, behavioral changes in lifestyle including physical activity, dietary, monitoring of blood glucose levels (BGL), and obedience to treatment are needed. A good self care (self-management) of patients with diabetes will help them manage the disease. American Association of Diabetes (ADA) suggest people with diabetes type 2 to have selfcare behaviors that can improve their quality of life while reducing the complications associated with the disease (Bonner et al., 2016). The aim of the research was to analyze the correlation between self care behaviors and HbA1c levels of the patients with type 2 diabetes in Binjai, North Sumatra Province. The design of the research was descriptive analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study was all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in eight community health centers in Binjai. The samples were consecutive sampling of 118 people who meet the criteria. Data gathered were analyzed using Pearson Correlation. The result of this study suggested that the majority of samples (102 people or 86.4%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Binjai has low attention to do self care behavior. The average HbA1c level of the diabetic patients was 9.8% (uncontrolled). Meanwhile, the result of the Pearson Correlation Test showed a correlation between self care behaviors and HbA1c level in diabetes patients in Binjai (p <0.05). The better the self-care behavior of the diabetes patients the lower the HbA1C levels is. Self-care behavior is the determinant factor of the controllable diabetes. To improve self-care behavior, cooperation between doctors and health workers to provide continuing education is essential in order to increase understanding and independence of the patients with type 2 diabetes.
