Barriers to Effective Self-Care Among Newly Diagnosed Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Real-life Experience From a Developing Country
Increasing treatment adherence depends on how self-care is managed among newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes. Improving self-care requires addressing physical and socio-economic challenges, managing time constraints, and leveraging family support. These findings suggest the need for family-centered interventions and tailored education within primary care to better support self-care efforts in this population.
