Description
The authors assess in 2025 how faithfully diabetes patients in one Kenyan county follow advice on diet and activity. Lifestyle change is a pillar of type 2 diabetes care, which mostly strikes older adults. Poor adherence quietly undoes the work clinics invest, and the topic had never been studied in Kericho County.
The team ran a hospital based survey of 207 patients aged 40 and over at the county referral hospital. A tested, structured questionnaire measured what patients actually eat and how much they move. The results map the size of the compliance gap and its likely drivers. Local numbers can shape counseling that fits local foods and daily routines, instead of imported leaflets.
