Factors associated with glycemic control in patients with T2DM: evidence from a cross-sectional study in China

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Baseline data, encompassing basic information, lifestyle habits, and treatment of 305 T2DM patients from March 2021 to January 2023, were collected and analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified insulin therapy (OR=2.233, P=0.026) and regular clinic visits (OR=0.567, P=0.040) as independent factors influencing glycemic control. No observed interactions between the two variables were noted. Conclusion: History of insulin therapy and regular clinic visits were significantly and independently associated with glycated hemoglobin control in T2DM patients. Tailored interventions based on individual circumstances are recommended to optimize glycemic control.
