Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Toward Diabetes Mellitus and Their Association With Socioeconomic Status Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Findings indicated a high level of knowledge, positive behavior, and good adherence to practice among patients with T2DM. GLM findings showed that age, marital status, level of education, monthly income, and accommodation are significantly correlated with the level of knowledge. Researchers suggest that effective health education interventions are needed to improve diabetes knowledge, behavior, and practices, particularly regarding lifestyle modifications and dietary management.
