Description
Muzlifa Mohamed Yusoff and co-workers study how actively patients with type two diabetes in Malaysia take charge of their own care. Active patients tend to manage blood sugar better over time. Their 2026 study surveys four hundred fifty patients at a public clinic in Penang, scoring their confidence and skills for self-care alongside views of their treatment and doctors' support.
Two-thirds of patients scored at a high level of engagement with their care. Men scored slightly higher, while older patients scored lower. Higher long-term blood sugar readings went with lower engagement, and patients on tablets alone scored below others. Clinics may lift self-care most by focusing support on older patients and those whose sugar control is already slipping.
