Its prevalence is growing exponentially and has even reached epidemic proportion worldwide. It was estimated that there were 942,000 diabetic patients in Malaysia in year 2000 and by 2030, it increases to 2,479,000. Accordingly, this study was conducted as an initial step to collect data on glycaemic control status. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the good and inadequate glycaemic control among type 2 diabetic patients in Medical Ward, Selayang Hospital. It also tried to investigate patients' adherence to prescribed diabetes treatment. A total of 52 patients met the inclusion criteria and 51 of them participated in the study. Data were collected trough questionnaires and patients' medical profile. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) Version 12.0 was used in analyzing the data. Majority of the patients were Malays and Indians (35%) and females (56.9%) with mean age 59 .9 ± 13 years. 45 .1 % of the patients completed secondary school education and 47% of the patients were with more than 10 years of diabetic duration. 88.2% of the patients were off inadequate glycaemic control. The mean HbA1c level was 8.8 ± 2.2%. Females, elderly, Malays, patients with more than one antidiabetic agent and more than one diabetic complications were the characteristics of patients with highest percentage of inadequate glycaemic control although no statistical difference was reached. Adherence level was poor with 54.9% of the patients were non-adherent to their prescribed . antidiabetic treatment. The study showed that glycaemic control and adherence level among type 2 diabetic patients in Malaysia is still inadequate and at a poor state. Frequent review of the glycaemic control and adherence level together with patient counseling may increase achievement of goal of antidiabetic therapy thus improved patients' health related quality of life. 2008 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102031/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102031/1/102031.PDF text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (Kampus Puncak Alam) Faculty of Pharmacy Muhsain, Siti Nur Fadzilah
