AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is 
      the number one cause of premature deaths, hospital admissions and disability in 
      Fiji. The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine healthcare 
      providers' perceptions of factors associated with glycaemic control. METHOD: 
      Three focus group discussions were conducted with 19 healthcare providers 
      selected through purposive variation sampling in three selected diabetes clinics 
      in Suva, Fiji, in August 2017 and analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: Five 
      themes on factors associated with poor glycaemic control emerged: patients' 
      adherence to treatment and management plans, attitudes, knowledge about diabetes, 
      culture/beliefs and support. Other factors that play a pivotal part in achieving 
      good glycaemic control are healthcare providers' behaviour and addressing 
      patient's caregiver issues DISCUSSION: Knowing how to empower patients with T2DM 
      to manage the different patient-related factors associated with poor glycaemic 
      control at first encounter will assist healthcare providers to deliver 
      high-quality patient-centred diabetic care services and achieve better health 
      outcomes in patients.
