Predictors of Glycemic Control in Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that can cause premature death. In addition, this disease is one of the leading causes of blindness, heart disease and kidney failure. Diabetes mellitus management consists of four main components: education, medical nutrition therapy, physical exercise, and pharmacological therapy to maintain the blood glucose levels within normal levels. This study aimed to determine the most influential factors related to blood glucose levels among the four components of diabetes management. This was quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained from 179 adults with type II diabetes mellitus using a questionnaire and were analyzed using logistic regression. The results showed that the strongest predictor of glycemic control was knowledge about diabetes self-management. We therefore recommend that nurses and other medical teams improve the provision of health education and promotion about diabetes self-care management to patients, so that they can maintain their health.
