This study aimed to assess the magnitude and contributing factors of poor glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients on follow-up at Adama Hospital Medical College (AHMC) in East Ethiopia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 245 type 2 diabetes patients on follow-up at AHMC from March 1 to 30, 2020. All type 2 diabetes patients on follow-up at AHMC and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires and reviewing the patient chart. The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21. The level of significance was declared at a p-value of < 0.05.Results: Of the 245 type 2 diabetes patients included in the study, 157 (64.1%) had poor glycemic control. The factors associated with poor glycemic control were being male (AOR = 2.28, 95% CI [1.24– 4.21]), not attending formal education (AOR = 3.12, 95% CI [1.53– 6.35]), monthly income of < 136 USD (AOR = 2.14, 95% CI [1.17– 3.91]), overweight (AOR = 2.60, 95% CI [1.32– 5.10]) and obesity (AOR = 3.44, 95% CI [1.44– 8.21]), and chewing khat (AOR = 2.77, 95% CI [1.04– 7.33]).Conclusion: The proportion of poor glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients at AHMC was remarkably high. Therefore, more effort should be taken to strengthening and disseminating health education programs for diabetes patients at each follow-up visit on the importance of achieving optimal body weight, avoiding khat chewing, and maintaining regular physical exercise to prevent and mitigate the complications resulting from poor glycemic control.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, AHMC, EthiopiaYosef TNureye DTekalign EDove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetesglycemic controlahmcethiopiaSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3273-3280 (2021)
