This study aims to identify the factors associated with poor glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes in order to improve their management. This was a cross-sectional analytical study of patients with type 2 diabetes followed at the Yopougon University Hospital from January 2020 to March 31, 2021.

During our study, we enrolled a total of 300 patients, of whom 196 (65.3%) had poor glycemic control. In the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with poor glycemic control were: nonadherence to treatment (ORa = 4.12; 95% CI [2.34 - 7.26]; p
