Almost three-quarters of the study population of diabetic patients had poorly controlled blood sugar. Overweight, obesity, higher eGFR, type 1 diabetics, poor adherence to diet recommendation and non-adherence to medications were independent predictors of poor glycemic control. Educational strategies should focus on improving adherence to the recommended diet and medication(s), achieving weight control and optimizing glycemic control.
