Overview

Cross-sectional analysis finds self-efficacy associates with glycemic control in adults with T2DM, suggesting improvements needed in self-care practices.

Key Points

  • Suboptimal glycemic control was observed in 60.6% of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • 59.6% of adults achieved adequate diabetes knowledge, while only 39.4% maintained acceptable glycemic control.
  • Cross-sectional study utilized self-reporting questionnaires, focusing on health literacy, self-care, and self-efficacy.
  • Model findings indicate that self-care did not correlate with glycemic control, highlighting potential intervention areas.
