Lower socioeconomic status is significantly associated with poorer glycemic control in urban Indian patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Financial and social factors play a significant role in blood sugar control. If cost is a barrier, discuss this with your doctor. They may be able to suggest lower-cost alternatives or connect you with resources to help manage your diabetes.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
A statistically significant association was observed between socioeconomic status and glycemic control (χ² = 10.533, p = 0.015)... These results indicate that socioeconomic status significantly impacts glycemic control.
Why this rating
