Targeted educational interventions, particularly for those with lower education, unemployment, or a recent diagnosis, may enhance adherence, improve outcomes and reduce the burden of diabetes in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract

Although diabetes knowledge is important for promoting adherence, it is not sufficiently effective on its own to guarantee compliance. Targeted educational interventions, particularly for those with lower education, unemployment, or a recent diagnosis, may enhance adherence, improve outcomes and reduce the burden of diabetes in Saudi Arabia.
