“…2 Therefore, if proper corrective steps are not implemented by the year 2045, the number of individuals with diabetes will be around 134 million. 3 Type 2 diabetes is often considered a 'silent disease' and the patient remains asymptomatic for many years. However, the longer the impaired glucose metabolism remains undetected and untreated, the more serious the chronic organ complications become.…”

Background: India is referred to as the “diabetic capital of the world” and is home to the second-largest number of adults with diabetes worldwide. Urbanization is a key reason for the Indian diabetes epidemic. Poor glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients is a serious public health issue and a key risk factor for both progression and complication of diabetes. This study, therefore, intends to assess glycaemic control status and factors influencing poor glycaemic control among T2DM patients.Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study done over a period of four months, among T2DM patients in urban Mysuru, using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire by interview method. A total of 372 T2DM patients who had the latest reports of fasting blood sugar value were included in the study. SPSS version 23 was used to analyse the collected data and to identify the determinants and risk factors leading to poor glycaemic control.Results: Among 372 study participants, 63.7% of patients had poor glycaemic control. The mean FBS value of the study population was 146.886±43.2700 and the mean age of the study participants was 55.50±12.238 years. Further, it was found that longer diseases durations, irregular check-ups, type of medication, non-adherence to both medication and diabetic diet were risk factors for poor glycaemic status.Conclusions: The prevalence of poor glycaemic control among diabetics in Mysuru was found to be high; therefore, proper health education, counselling of diabetics and organizing health awareness programmes are needed to control it and hence reduce the disease burden.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic medical condition with severe complications, mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles in genetically susceptible individuals. There has been a growing interest in the role of mobile health technologies in achieving better self-efficacy in managing diabetes. This study attempts to assess the impact of a web-based model on improving the diabetes status among Type 2 diabetic patients attending a tertiary care hospital in southern India. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted among patients with type 2 diabetes attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Mysuru, southern India, for 6 months. Diabetes Care (https://www.diabetes-care.co.in/), which is an online website that can be used as a risk prediction tool for uncontrolled diabetes and recommends lifestyle changes, was used by 456 diabetes patients for 6 months. We assessed the change in glycosylated haemoglobin levels at the beginning and after 6 months of using the software. Results: The mean HbA1c value at the start of the study was 8.039% ± 1.981. The HbA1c value assessed after 6 months post-intervention showed an improvement of 7.794% ± 1.853 with a mean difference of 0.245. A paired T-test showed a statistically significant association with a P value of 0.049. Conclusions: Evidence from this study suggests that intervention using a web-based model focusing on risk prediction and educational intervention showed an improvement in the diabetic status of the patients with T2DM.
