Inadequate Glycemic Control Among Uncontrolled Patients With T2dm Under Anti-Diabetic Drugs Indicates A Major Public Health Issue And Risk Factor For The Progression Of Diabetic Complications

This investigation evaluates how inadequate glucose management in T2DM patients who receive diabetes medication represents an essential healthcare challenge that promotes diabetic complication progression. The retrospective observational study demonstrates inadequate glycemic control among uncontrolled patients with T2DM under anti-diabetic drugs, which represents a significant public health concern and leads to accelerated diabetic complications. The data collection occurred from January 1, 2024, until August 31, 2024. Data was collected at the Endocrine and diabetes mellitus patient's consultancy within Baghdad Teaching Hospital. The research sample contained 150 patients between 40 and 79 years of age whom researchers purposefully selected. The study results indicate patients averaged (56.6) years of age. Results showed that most participants in the sample group were male married residents of urban areas who were overweight and held middle-class status. Additionally, the results indicated poor dietary habits combined with inadequate educational levels regarding food patterns and unhealthy lifestyles, with type II diabetes being the most common diagnosis. This study reveals that inadequate diabetes control in uncontrolled T2DM patients under anti-diabetic medication presents both a significant public health problem and a contributing risk factor for further diabetic complications.
