Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most relevant issues of contemporary healthcare due to its prevalence, its physical and psychosocial consequences for patients and their family; and its economic impact on the society. Poor control may result in complications.

Objective: The study assessed the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, clinical profile and glycaemic control among adult Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) attending diabetic clinic of Family Medicine department of a tertiary hospital.

Method: This was a cross sectional study carried out among 367 patients selected by systematic random sampling method. Relevant data collected through a semi-structured questionnaire, clinical data recorded and fasting plasma glucose were utilized for the study. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.

Results: The female to male ratio was nearly equal (1.01:1). The mean (SD) age of respondents was 61.7 ± 11.4 years. Majority 306 (83.4%) of the respondents were older than 50years of age. Most respondents, 164 (44.7%) lived on less than two US dollars per day. About half, 168 (45.8%) had a good glycaemic control. Significant relationship exists between marital status, socioeconomic status, smoking, number of co-morbidities, BMI and glycaemic control. Level of education, occupation, and social status can play an independent role in glycaemic control.

Conclusions: From this study, control of diabetes was still not at the optimal level among the diabetes population, and socio-economic status has a role to play in glycaemic control.
