Diabetes has an additional effect on women. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with
poor glycemic control among type 2 Jordanian diabetic women. A cross-sectional study was conducted on
women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sociodemographic data and the disease history were
collected. Bodyweight, height, waist and hip circumference were measured; body mass index (BMI);
waist to hip ratio and waist to height ratio were calculated. Eating patterns was evaluated using food
frequency questionnaire. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum lipid levels were evaluated.
Women's mean age was 56 years. Thirty percent of the subjects were at reproductive age. Fourteen
percent of women had a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The magnitude of poor glycemic
control was 83.8%. The duration of diabetes (OR = 8.5, 95% CI 1.24-58.3) and not having a history of
GDM (OR = 0.151, 95% CI 0.024-0.96) were associated with poor glycemic control. Therefore, a need to
empower patients with knowledge and resources to enhance their participation in diabetes self-care.
