After statistical analysis comparing HbA1c level and independent variables, there were 6 factors that increased HbA1c levels with statistically significant differences with p<0, 05: poor versus good physical activity (9.22 ± 1.77 vs 7.74 ± 1.38); the number of years with T2DM ≥6 years versus <6 years (9.27 ± 1.73 vs 7.96 ± 1.53); female versus male (8.89 ± 1.84 vs 7.94 ± 1.30); non-compliance and compliance to medication (9.14 ± 1.81 vs 8.33 ± 1.69); hypertension versus normotension (8.84 ± 1.96 vs 8.42 ± 1.60); lack of knowledge versus knowledge about T2DM (8.65 ± 1.83 vs 8.56 ± 1.73).
