AB  - AIMS: Despite the availability of a wide selection of antidiabetic treatments, 
      many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) still do not have controlled 
      glucose levels. This study aimed to assess illness perception, medication 
      adherence, and glycemic control among primary care attendees with T2DM. METHODS: 
      A cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2019 and November 2020. A 
      random sample of 265 Egyptian T2DM patients were enrolled from primary 
      health-care settings in Port Said, Egypt. Data on socio-demographic 
      characteristics, lifestyle habits, and diabetic medical history were collected 
      using a semi-structured questionnaire. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire 
      (B-IPQ) was used to assess diabetes perception, whereas the 8-item Morisky 
      Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) was used to investigate medication adherence. 
      RESULTS: There was a significant difference in B-IPQ scores between different 
      groups of the patients in terms of diabetic medications, complications, and 
      glycemic control (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in MMAS-8 score 
      found between different groups of the patients in terms of disease duration, 
      family history of T2DM, and glycemic control (p < 0.05). Further, there was a 
      significant difference in HbA1c score found between different groups of patients 
      in terms of disease duration, medications, complications, and family history of 
      T2DM (p < 0.05). Higher BMI, a positive family history of T2DM, patients who take 
      insulin, high illness perception, and poor medication adherence were the factors 
      associated with higher HbA1c level. CONCLUSION: Higher HbA1c levels were linked 
      to a higher BMI, a positive family history of T2DM, insulin users, high illness 
      perception, and poor medication adherence.
