Abstract
Education is the cornerstone of diabetes care. Due to lack of awareness, most patients suffer from diabetes complications. This study was conducted to determine knowledge, attitudes and practices among patients with type 2 diabetes.
This descriptive cross-sectional study included type 2 diabetics in some medical facilities in the city of Kisangani. Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The mean age of patients was 42.5 years male/female.
In terms of knowledge, endurance sport was the most represented in all the surveys with 75%. With regard to the practical attitude, 92% of respondents did not practice physical activity. The cause of not practicing was more related to laziness with 38%.
The attitude and practice of type 2 diabetics remain inadequate in our environment and deserve to be improved during therapeutic education.
