AB  - OBJECTIVE: In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the association 
      of self-care management practices and glycemic control of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A total of 352 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      patients from two public tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia participated in this 
      study. All T2DM patients were recruited and interviewed by a researcher between 
      January to April 2018 from the outpatient diabetes clinics. All respondents 
      answered a four-part questionnaire which includes demographics data, Diabetes 
      Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ). Linear Regression was performed to assess 
      the significance of predictors and compute the coefficient of determination. 
      RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 51.89 +/- 10.94. Of the 352 
      participants, 52% were obese (BMI: >/=30 kgm(2)) and 77% of the participants had 
      glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 7%. The analysis showed that subscale of 
      Glucose management was the strongest predictor of Hba1c levels of participants' 
      followed by physical activity. Gender and marital status emerged as significant 
      predictors for their self-care management practices. Female patients had more 
      self-care management practices than male patients (B 0.20; 95CI 0.10- 0.96 
      (p = 0.015). CONCLUSION: This study provides an evidence on the self-care 
      management of T2DM patients in Saudi Arabia. The high self-care management found 
      in the study highlights that the patients are aware of the severity of and 
      possible complications associated with T2DM.
