Description
Salha Otaif and Ghareeb Bahari survey a 2026 cross-sectional study of blood-sugar control among adults with diabetes attending primary care centres in Saudi Arabia. Poor control drives complications, so the study hunted for habits and attitudes that separate good control from bad. A structured questionnaire covered 144 patients, alongside their HbA1c results, a standard long-term sugar measure.
Only about forty-two percent reached the target range, while a fifth sat in very poor control. Two thirds admitted poor medication adherence, and activity levels were mostly low to moderate. Regression work singled out longer time since diagnosis and medication adherence as significant influences on control. Confidence about diet was a particular weak spot in self-care.
