摘要

Aims: Self-monitoring of blood glucose can improve treatment adherence and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess knowledge, practice, and barriers to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Enugu State, Nigeria. Settings and Design: This study was a cross-sectional survey of 340 patients with type 2 diabetes at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) and Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (Park Lane) in August 2017. Materials and Methods: The data collection tool was a 26-item, four-sectioned questionnaire: the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, 11 items on knowledge, seven on practice, and eight on barriers regarding SMBG. The questionnaires were self-administered. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive, χsup2/sup, Spearman’s correlation, and logistics regression statistics were reported at P 0.05. Results: Majority of the patients were 46–55 years old (27.9). Female respondents were 53.5. Patients with good knowledge and practice were 35.9 and 46.2, respectively. Knowledge of SMBG was negatively correlated to barrier against SMBG (r = ‒0.178, P=0.001) and positively correlated with practice of SMBG (r = 0.138, P=0.011). Those who were not taught SMBG were less likely to have good practice of SMBG than those who were taught (adjusted odd ratio 0.122, 95 confidence interval: 0.044–0.338). Conclusions: Patients with T2DM in Enugu State have poor knowledge and practice SMBG.
