Cross-sectional analysis reveals 58.6% adherence and low glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients in Kenya, suggesting barriers impact outcomes.

This research investigates the relationship between diabetes self-management practices and glycaemic control among type 2 diabetes patients.
Conducted a mixed methods cross-sectional analytical research design
Utilized a semi-structured questionnaire for data collection
Analyzed data using chi-square and binary logistic regression with SPSS
Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis with NVIVO.
Found 58.6% adherence to diabetes self-management practices
Only 13.4% achieved good glycaemic control
Adherence was higher among older patients, especially those aged 50-59 and 60-69
A significant association between diabetes self-management and glycaemic control was identified
Structural barriers hindered adherence from translating to improved glycaemic outcomes.

Wanjiku et al. (2026) studied this question.
