dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on treatment adherence, access to care, and disease control in diabetic patients. An online survey design was utilized to collect data from a convenient sample of diabetic patients in Jordan. The developed survey collected data on sociodemographic characteristics, COVID-19 impact on access to care in diabetic patients, COVID-19 impact on diabetic patients’ adherence to their medications, and patients’ level of knowledge of COVID-19 impact on their health. Nearly three-quarters of the participants reported that they avoided going to the physician for regular non-emergent visits during the outbreak, and 69.5% stated that their access to insulin, other diabetic medications, and supplies was not affected by the pandemic situation. The majority of patients reported that COVID-19 did not affect their adherence to their medications. Almost 42% reported that COVID-19 has negatively affected their physical activity level and their healthy lifestyle habits, while 60% stated that it did not affect their diet. Additionally, 56.6% reported that they have noticed less control in their blood glucose readings. The findings may reflect that the patients high adherence rate to their medications and that they avoided going to the doctor’s clinic to avoid contracting the virus.en_US
