dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Good glycemic control has been defined as achieving a target of fasting plasma glucose level of between 80 and 110 mg/dl, or glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) of <7.0%. Poor glycemic control is highly correlated with chronic conditions related to the damaging effects of hyperglycaemia, resulting in serious complications. To restrict and delay the complications of diabetes mellitus, good glycemic control is essential. Objective: To identify the determinants associated with poor glycemic control among Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 403 confirmed type 2 diabetic patients who attendedone of the tertiary care hospitals of North India over a period of six months (July- December 2021). The collected data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 28. Chi-square test was applied to compare various determinants of glycemic control. A p-value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: Out of 403 participants, 57.6% had poor glycemic control of diabetic condition. Higher age of participants, illiteracy, being overweight, having positive history of smoking and alcohol, longer duration of diabetes, participants taking both oral and insulin treatment for diabetes, taking medicine irregularly were the significant determinants of poor glycemic control. Conclusion: Higher percentage(57.6%) of poor glycemic control was observed in the study.To improve the glycemic control, efforts should be made towards improving modifiable factors like overweight, smoking, alcohol, regularity of medication etc. Good lifestyle interventions help in control of poor glycemic control.en_US
