Abstract

Diabetes is a major public health menace across the globe and it is associated with physical, emotional and socio-economic consequences. Existing literature supports the use of diabetes education as a tool to minimise the impact of the medical condition. However, the current figure revealed underutilisation of the service. Compliance with a heath advice is often challenging as demonstrated by anecdotal evidence pertaining to the initial period of lifestyle changes necessitated by the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic. There are many reasons responsible for failure to comply with healthcare instructions, hence, this study provides insight into the impact of patient’s perceptions and beliefs on attendance at diabetes education centres.
