The prevalence of poor glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients in this study is high and patient's age was identified to be an independent risk factor. We recommend any intervention by the hospital that promotes diabetes education and optimizes lifestyle and medication adherence; ultimately to achieve good glycemic control especially for adult patients.
