Abstract
Diabetic people remain concern about their increased blood glucose level. The control of blood glucose is associated with several social, demographical, behavioral and biomedical factors. The aim of the study was to determine the factors influencing the control of diabetes. A cross-sectional survey was performed to select 300 diabetic patients using systematic random sampling methodology in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh. Chi-square test and stepwise logistic regression analysis were used to find out the associations of diabetes controlled and selected factors for this study. In this study, around 82.0% patients could control diabetes. Using chi-square test, sex, education, monthly family income, regular intake of drug, regular treatment receive, vertigo and HBP were associated with diabetes control. Multivariable logistic regression model suggested that sex, duration of carrying diabetes, regular intake of drugs, regular treatment receives, regular physical, vertigo and HBP activity had significant effect on diabetes. It can be concluded that socio-demographic, socio-behavioral and biomedical factors have significant influence on diabetes control. Diabetes is now a major public concerning issues in Bangladesh so Government of Bangladesh should give top priority in its health agenda.
