Description
Rogers Makonje and co-authors present a 2026 survey of diabetes self-care among 385 adults attending a regional hospital clinic in Mbale, eastern Uganda. Managing type 2 diabetes day to day, through medication, diet, activity, and monitoring, decides long-term outcomes, and local performance was unknown.
Only about a third of patients, 34.6 percent, reached the study's bar for good self-management on a standard questionnaire. Doing well clustered with advantage and support: higher education, employment, and higher income each raised the odds, as did having diabetes for fewer years, knowing its complications, and having family backing. General diabetes knowledge alone showed no link. The authors argue that interventions should target money, family, and complication awareness, not just information.
