Purpose: We primarily aimed at determining the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and abnormal individual metabolic control variables in HIV-infected participants as compared to HIV-uninfected participants given current concerns. Our secondary objective was to determine the predictors of metabolic syndrome and individual metabolic control variables among the study participants to guide future management.
Patients And Methods: A descriptive, case-matched cross-sectional study for four months from 15th June 2019 to 15th October 2019 at Block 6 Diabetes Reference Clinic in Gaborone, Botswana.
Background And Aims: Glycemic control among patients with diabetes mellitus is associated with a marked reduction of both macrovascular and microvascular complications; however, glycemic control remains an elusive goal worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with glycemic control among patients attending a tertiary clinic in Botswana as limited information to date.
Methods: Cross-sectional study in a tertiary clinic in Gaborone, Botswana.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetes mellitus (DM) patients in Botswana, as this had not been previously examined in the country.
- Conducted from July to October 2015, the study involved demographic data collection via interviews and medical records, revealing that 8.4% of participants had CKD, though many cases went undocumented.
- Findings indicated that older age, lower education levels, and longer duration of diabetes were linked to CKD, highlighting issues of uncontrolled hypertension and poor glycemic control among patients.
