Key Points

  • Nearly half (48.7%) of patients exhibited uncontrolled glycemic levels, indicating significant management challenges.
  • Factors such as age, diabetes duration, and medication adherence were associated with glycemic control in the analysis.
  • The average EQ-5D-5L utility score was 0.86, while 85.8% reported issues with pain/discomfort, reflecting reduced health-related quality of life.
  • Engagement in physical exercise and adherence to dietary recommendations were found to positively influence glycemic control and health-related quality of life.
