“…The mean HbA1c of diabetes patients in the presence of hypertension comorbidity was 8.16%, and the mean HbA1c of diabetes patients in the absence of hypertension was 7.17%. This finding agrees with the finding from Egypt [ 25 ] and China [ 38 ]. This is because the additional antihypertensive pill burden and complication inhibit the utilization of peripheral glucose which finally increases the glycated hemoglobin level [ 39 ].…”

“…Glycemic control was poor in 55.32% [95% CI: 53.4%-57.25%] of diabetes patients. This finding was lower when compared to the research output from Egypt [ 25 ], and this finding agrees with the finding from Bangladesh [ 26 ], India [ 27 ], Ethiopia [ 28 ]. This finding alerts that more than half of diabetes mellitus patients were not properly regulating their HbA1c, which calls the attention of decision-makers to give priority to handle the unwanted consequences of diabetes mellitus in the resource-limited settings.…”

“…Studies in Ethiopia showed that Poor glycemic control was associated with rural residence (19), duration with diabetics (11,18,(20)(21)(22), duration of diabetic's treatment (11,(18)(19)(20), drug regimen of oral antidiabetics or insulin treatment (15,21), and body weight (14). Besides, drug regimen of more than one oral agent, diabetic complications and co-morbidities were associated with poor glycemic control (23).…”

“…Besides, our prevalence was also lower than most of the international studies assessing depression in T2DM using PHQ-9 score. A study from Suez Canal University Hospital in Egypt revealed a rate of depression of 69% in patients with T2DM [16], while a study conducted in Ethiopia showed a depression rate of 54.2% [17]. Two studies from India showed that the prevalence rates of depression were 41% and 62% among T2DM [18,19].…”
