- W2990751422 abstract "Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Monitoring and controlling normal blood sugar levels play a critical role in slowing the progression of micro- and macrovascular complications of diabetes. This study was conducted to measure glycaemic control and diabetes-related knowledge in diabetic patients on maintenance haemodialysis and to assess any relationship between these two variables. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at six dialysis centres in the north of the West Bank. Blood samples were collected to measure glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, while the Michigan Diabetic Knowledge Test (MDKT) was employed as a measure tool of diabetes-related knowledge. Patients were also asked to fill in a questionnaire in order to determine their sociodemographic characteristics. Finally, univariate analyses were used to measure the associations between the clinical and sociodemographic data, and diabetes knowledge and glycaemic control. Results A total of 147 haemodialysis patients with diabetes were included in this study. The mean age of the cohort was 60.12 (SD = 10.28). Males accounted for 51.7% of the cohort. The HbA1c levels (%) and MDKT scores were 6.89 ± 1.72 and 9.19 ± 1.7 (mean ± SD), respectively. 36.1% of the patients had poor glycemic control. The study showed that residency and household income were associated with diabetes knowledge ( P < 0.05). However, the study did not show a significant association between diabetes-related knowledge and glycaemic control overall, nor did it show a significant association between the clinical and sociodemographic factors and glycaemic control ( P > 0.05). Conclusions This study showed that patients living in refugee camps as well as those with low income had low diabetes-related knowledge and needed extra care. This study also revealed that a relatively high proportion of diabetic patients on maintenance haemodialysis suffered from poor glycemic control. Here, we recommend to put greater emphasis on better diabetes-related knowledge as a means to achieve better diabetes care with improved glycemic control for all haemodialysis patients" @default.
