Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is serious healthcare concern in Saudi Arabia, with the disease's prevalence in the country being one of the highest worldwide. This study examines various factors which affect outcomes of patients with DM; namely, medication adherence, diabetes knowledge, self-management behaviours, and glycemic control.Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey-based study. Participants were patients with a DM diagnosis at King Saud Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Results: Positive associations were found between medication adherence and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviours (glucose management and healthcare use) and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviours (dietary control) and fasting blood glucose levels; and age and blood glucose levels (both fasting and HgA1c). No associations were found between diabetes knowledge and glycemic control; or between self-management behaviours and HgA1c levels. Conclusion:Having good knowledge of diabetes is associated with medication adherence and healthcare self-management. Healthcare practitioners should consider educating DM patients an integral part of the treatment process.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the self-care practice among patients with diabetes and their associated factors in Benishangul Gumuz Public Hospitals, Western Ethiopia, 2018.ResultOut of the total 399 selected patients, 383 were participated in the study with a response rate of 96%. From 383 respondents, 45.7% had poor diabetes self-care practice. 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. These findings request for the need of integrated interventional management approach, which will improve the health and quality of life of the diabetes patients.

“…The study design is a pragmatic parallel randomized were randomized into one of two groups, using a web-based random number generator: a NODE-enhanced DSME intervention or a standard DSME control group. In order to assess potential effectiveness, the Diabetes Knowledge Test 2 (DKT2), a 23-item validated scoring instrument, developed for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes [6], was used. The DKT2 includes a 14-item general subscore, and a 9-item insulin-dependent subscore, with total scores ranging from 0 to 23.…”
