Adherence to diabetes self-care management and associated factors among people with diabetes in Gamo Gofa Zone public health hospitals

Abstract

Significant number of diabetes patients had poor adherence to diabetes self-care practice. Special focus should be given to farmers with diabetes, those with diabetic complication and for those with duration of diabetes less than 10 years. Periodical training should be given for people with diabetes on dietary feeding, physical exercise and eye examination practice.
