Article Synopsis
- Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a significant complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding DR among diabetic patients in Dongola, Sudan.
- Conducted from September 2022 to June 2023 with 241 participants at Al-Jemaih Diabetic Center, the study revealed that over half had good knowledge about DR, with urban residency linked to better understanding, while 79.3% had a favorable attitude.
- Despite positive knowledge and attitudes, only 27.8% had regular eye check-ups, mainly due to the misconception that these check-ups were unnecessary, highlighting a need for better education on DR's management.
