Abstract

PURPOSE
This study aimed to identify glycemic control status and factors influencing glycemic control by gender in workers with diabetes mellitus.
METHODS
Using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2013 to 2016, 763 workers with Type II diabetes mellitus who were≥30 years of age were included. Data were analyzed by χ² test and multiple logistic regression using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.
RESULTS
Glycemic control rates were lower in patients who had diabetes mellitus for 10~20 years than in those who had diabetes mellitus for 5 years or less, and this factor affected glycemic control in both men and women. In men, the odds ratio of good glycemic control was higher in insulin treatment, no hyperlipidemia, eat breakfast more than 3 times/week, eating out 3~4 times/week than other group. In women, the odds ratio of good glycemic control was higher in women who were not married and did not drink alcohol than other group.
CONCLUSION
Factors influencing glycemic control differed in men and women. Therefore, it is necessary to provide individualized education by gender for patients with diabetes mellitus in hospitals and to prepare a detailed management plan for diabetes mellitus in work places and throughout society.
