dc.description.abstractPurpose: The study was conducted to determine the perceived symptom and HbA1c level in type 2 diabetic individuals and to determine the effect of perceived symptom level on HbA1c. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted among 165 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data were obtained with the patient diagnostic form and the Diabetes Symptoms Checklist Scale. Results: In the last four weeks, the individuals experienced easily irritation (24.2%), frequent urination (13.9%) and lack of energy (13.9%). It was found that the diabetic individuals were live less symptoms that persistently blurred vision eeven with glasses on (54.5%), a different sensation in the legs or feet when touched (50.9%) and difficulty paying attention (50.3%). Diabetic individuals had a high symptom burden associated with hyperglycemia and psychology/exhaustion; Ophthalmology and neurology-related symptom burden were found to be low. Individuals with HbA1C levels above 9% had higher symptom burden on neurology, ophthalmology and hyperglycemia than those with HbA1C levels of 7% or less. Conclusion: The perceived symptom level of individuals was low and the level of perceived symptoms influenced HbA1c level. It is recommended to evaluate the perceived symptom burden of diabetic individuals in every health check and to ensure the continuity of training and counseling services for effective diabetes management.
