Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition of public health concern, Nigeria included. This study aimed to assess nutritional status and identify factors influencing blood sugar self-management in patients with type 2 diabetes in government hospital Abeokuta, Nigeria. The primary objective was to provide insights into this critical aspect of diabetes care in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted in government-owned state hospitals in Ogun State, Nigeria. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, covering socio-demographic characteristics, dietary patterns, self-management attitudes, and biochemical parameters. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, and contingency table analysis were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that 78% of respondents reported a lack of financial resources, 58.7% cited insufficient education, 55.3% reported negative primary care experiences, and 52.7% reported poor glycemic control as a significant barrier to self-management of type 2 diabetes. Nutritional counseling, lifestyle modifications, and regular check-ups are crucial for patients. Further research should explore self-management factors in different geographical areas to provide comprehensive solutions for diabetes management.
