Adherence
High socioeconomic status, structured education (>6 sessions), therapeutic adherence, and frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose (>4/day) are independent predictors of achieving optimal metabolic control in diabetes.
To get the best results from your diabetes treatment, you need more than just pills. You need to take them consistently, monitor your blood sugar frequently (more than 4 times a day), and engage in structured education. If you have financial or social barriers, seek support, as these factors significantly impact your ability to control your blood sugar.
In multivariate logistic regression analysis, several factors were independently associated with the achievement of optimal metabolic control. These included High socioeconomic status (OR = 0.72, 95% CI [0.35 - 0.97]), weight loss of 5- 10% from baseline body weight (OR = 0.76, 95% CI [0.54 - 0.83]), number of education sessions > 6 (OR = 0.59, 95% CI [0.26 - 0.97]), therapeutic adherence (OR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.46 - 0.98]), and self-monitoring of blood glucose > 4/day (OR = 0.41, 95% CI [0.11 - 0.83]).
Why this rating
Multivariate analysis controls for confounders, strengthening the causal inference for these predictors within the study context.
