Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious consequences of diabetes. This serious issue occurs when the body cannot use the glucose as a source of energy because of a lack in the level of insulin which as consequence will lead to an increased level of glucose resulting in DKA.
Aim: The goal of this study was to increase diabetic patients' and caregivers' awareness and practice of DKA at the community level in Hail City, Saudi Arabia, in 2022. The assessment of people's awareness and knowledge on DKA is importance to support any subsequent actions. . This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Hail City, Saudi Arabia, among diabetic patients and carers. A self-administered questionnaire in Arabic was given to the target demographic via an internet survey. The questionnaire includes basic demographic data (i.e., age, gender, and marital status), clinical characteristics of the diabetic patients, and a set of questionnaires to assess the awareness and practice of the subjects regarding DKA.
Results: 348 surveys were received (51.1% males vs. 48.9% females). A total of 29.9% of patients have been diagnosed with DKA. Out of a possible 14 points, the average awareness score was 5.22 (SD 3.39). Poor awareness levels had been found in nearly 70% of the subjects, 23.6% were moderate, and only 8.6% were considered good. Factors associated with increased awareness were being younger, female gender, unmarried, students, type 1 DM, DKA diagnosis, and having good information about DKA.
Conclusion: The awareness of diabetic patients and their caregivers toward DKA was unsatisfactory. Younger female patients who were single and who had been diagnosed with DKA tend to be more aware of DKA as compared to other subjects. There is a compelling reason to bridge the gaps in the awareness of DKA among the diabetic population and their caregivers in our region.
