Knowledge, attitude, and diabetes self-care among individuals at high-risk of diabetes-related blindness in Bangladesh: a cross-sectional study

Individuals on insulin treatment demonstrated poorer knowledge and awareness of diabetes and diabetes eye screening. Those with a longer diabetes duration exhibited poorer self-care practices, particularly not taking the medication regularly, and neglecting diabetic retinal checkups. These issues need to be addressed in designing targeted educational interventions to prevent blindness from uncontrolled diabetes in the high-risk groups in Bangladesh.
