AB  - BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a public health issue associated 
      with a high prevalence of disability. Studies on disability profile in terms of 
      reduction in body structure and function, personal activities and societal 
      participation, defined as 'global disability', are scarce among people living 
      with T2DM in Nigeria. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of global disability 
      and its predictors among Nigerian living with T2DM. METHODS: A cross-sectional 
      analysis of 162 patients diagnosed with T2DM and attending a tertiary health 
      facility was performed for global disability measure and function. Their clinical 
      and socio-demographic data were obtained. Poisson regression analysis was applied 
      to assess the predicting factors of disability. RESULTS: A mean global disability 
      score of 22.1 was reported among the participants, varying from moderate to high 
      in each item. About 25.0% had mild disability, while 60.5% reported moderate to 
      severe disability. Elevated glycosylated haemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 
      systolic blood pressure, age, disease duration and marital status predicted 
      disability. A unit increase in HbA1c, systolic blood pressure and 1 month 
      increase in DM duration had more disability reported estimates [1.062 
      (CI=1.050-1.075), 1.005 (CI=1.002-1.007) and 1.001 (CI=1.000-1.002) times, 
      respectively]. Married participants were 1.13 (CI=1.02-1.23) times more likely to 
      be disabled than unmarried. CONCLUSIONS: There is mild to moderate burden and 
      risk of global disability among Nigerian living with T2DM. Age, DM duration, 
      marital status, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin and systolic 
      hypertension significantly predicted disability. FUNDING: None declared.
