Diabetes is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency. Lack of awareness about diabetes contributes to a more significant extent to the development of its complications. Self-care encompasses lifestyle modifications, medication-taking behavior, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and foot care. The study aimed to analyze the level of knowledge, attitude, and self-care practice toward type 2 diabetes mellitus and to determine the knowledge versus practice gap among the patients. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted to know the knowledge, attitude, and practice-oriented issues prevailing among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Out of 85 patients, 49 were male and 36 were female, generating 57.6 % and 42.3 % respectively showing more prevalence in males than in females. The disease was predominantly present in patients aged 55- 67 years. This study showed that 57.6 % (n= 49) of patients had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values above 7.5 %. Female patients showed higher HbA1c > 9.6 % than males. Among the 51 patients whose fasting blood glucose sugar (FBS) was assessed, only 9.8 % had FBS <90 mg/dL. This study shows that people with type 2 diabetes mellitus have at least one other condition that can influence the self-management of diabetes and its progression. Dyslipidemia was found to be the most prevalent (10.58 %) among the study population. Sulfonylureas (69.41 %) are the most commonly prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs). Among the study population, 52.9 % of them use insulin. 48.2 % are hypertensive patients and 34.11 %, 23.52 %, and 10.58 % are under anti-hypertensives, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-platelet drugs respectively. Diabetic neuropathy was common (2.35 %) compared to other microvascular complications. (n= 63) patients were prescribed fixed-dose combination (FDC), which is crucial in effectively achieving glycemic targets. 88.23 % of patients had a profound knowledge of their conditions. 30.58 % of patients were not aware of the serious complications of diabetes. Self-care practice is lacking among 80 % of people who do not regularly take self-care measures to prevent diabetes.

BackgroundMonkeypox is a globally spreading disease, representing a significant threat to human life in all countries of the world, and Saudi Arabia is no exception. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of the general adult population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia about monkeypox. MethodologyThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia among a sample of adults (aged over 18 years) who attended the outpatient clinics of the First Cluster primary healthcare centers, King Saud Medical City, and Ministry of Health in November 2022. A self-administered Arabic questionnaire, including sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, beliefs regarding monkeypox, and knowledge assessment about monkeypox through 23 multiple-choice questions, was utilized. ResultsThe study included 375 participants, of whom 270 (72%) were aged between 26 and 45 years, and 195 (52%) were males. Overall, 258 (68.8%) participants had insufficient knowledge about monkeypox. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that participants aged over 45 years were almost at a three-fold risk of having an insufficient level of knowledge about the disease compared to those aged between 18 and 25 years (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-8.69, p = 0.037). University/higher educated participants were at 61% lower risk of having an insufficient level of knowledge about the disease compared to those with an education level of below secondary school (AOR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.09-0.65, p = 0.013). Compared to housewives/non-working participants, governmental employees were at a significantly lower risk of having insufficient knowledge about monkeypox (AOR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.26-0.89, p = 0.020). ConclusionsKnowledge of the general population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia regarding monkeypox is insufficient, particularly regarding the fact that a monkeypox vaccine is available in Saudi Arabia and monkeypox is not a new infection that appeared in 2022. Therefore, there is a need to implement educational sessions at primary care centers and outpatient clinics of hospitals about the disease.

Diabetes is the furthermost widespread illness in Saudi Arabia consuming huge health and financial inferences. If not controlled, diabetes can cause serious complications which can impair or end the patient life. Hence, to stop and regulate the sickness, every effort should be made. Diabetes cosequences are less common when people are more knowledgeable and aware of the disease and its consequences. We aimed to asses the awareness level of the diabetes mellitus complications among diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, and the Cochrane library. Utilizing Rayyan QCRI, study papers were already screened by title and abstract before a full-text analysis was done. More than half of respondents in this article's eight research, which comprised individuals of both sexes and different ages, were men. In all included studies we included diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia and we evaluated their awareness level about diabetic complications. The general level of awareness of Saudi diabetic patients was relatively good, and the highest awareness levels were obtained in the educated individuals. Likewise, to quantify greater people's awareness level, hospital-based practitioners could step up their efforts to educate diabetic patients and family members on the significance of managing their diabetes and preventing its consequences.
