In addition to medication therapy, appropriate diabetes self\u2010care activities are crucial for the management and prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus. The study aims to investigate diabetes self\u2010care activity and explore its relationship with patients\u2019 characteristics and glycemic control profiles among individuals with type 2 diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetic patients visiting Purbanchal University Hospital from January to March 2024. The Diabetes Self\u2010Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) was used to assess diabetes self\u2010care activities. The patient's glycemic profiles were evaluated based on control of fasting blood sugar (FBS), post\u2010prandial blood sugar (PPBS), and glycated hemoglobin value (HbA1C) levels.

Despite receiving diabetic medication, 54.7% of patients exhibited elevated fasting blood glucose (\u2009\u2265\u2009126\u2009mg\/dL), and 57% had HbA1c levels &gt;\u20097%, indicating poor glycemic control. The average score for self\u2010care activities, assessed using the 10\u2010point DSMQ scale, was 5.45\u2009\u00b1\u20091.17, reflecting limited engagement in diabetes self\u2010care.
