Abstract
Our results showed that patients with T2DM lack knowledge and realistic health beliefs about common infections such as UTIs and LRTIs. Health education should aim to help patients with T2DM to interpret symptoms of infections correctly in order to take the appropriate action such as taking preventive measures or taking antibiotics. Identifying patients at high risk of a complicated infection may target education towards those who need it most.
