Understanding Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the Knowledge Gaps among Future Health Care Professionals: Insights from Saudi Arabia
The study suggests that health professional students in Saudi Arabia have a good understanding of type 2 diabetes; however, they exhibit a deficiency in knowledge about the use of oral hypoglycemic agents and the potential for reversing prediabetes. By addressing these gaps through curricular enhancements, future health care professionals could be better prepared to confront the escalating diabetes epidemic in the region.
