The cross sectional study was conducted in the out-patient departments of 4 diabetes care centres in Bangladesh among adult type 2 diabetic patients with the aim to explore the factors which influence poor glycemic control of adult type 2 diabetic patients in Bangladesh. Data were recorded in a semi-structured questionnaire and Diabetes Knowledge (DK) Questionnaire, Diabetes Selfefficacy (SE) score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scales were used. Of the 1158 type 3 diabetes respondents, schooling ranged from primary to post graduation levels. Most of female respondents were housewives and majority of males were service holders, around 19% were smoker and 27.1% smokeless tobacco consumer. In terms of fasting sugar level, 39.8% had their diabetes controlled but based on HbA1C, 18.8% had their diabetes controlled. Smokeless tobacco use, socioeconomic score and age of onset seems to have significant relation with FBS control status adjusting for all possible confounders. For HbA1c control sex, educational attainment, SE scores and age of onset of diabetes seem to have significant association with postprandial glucose control. Women are found to have better HbA1C control than men (OR 0.53). Educational attainment (OR 0.95,), SE score (OR 0.98) and age of onset (OR 0.98,) showed to have protective effect on HbA1C control.
