duration of diabetes (P = 0.001). However, there was no significant association between knowledge on diabetes and HbA1c status.Figure 1 shows knowledge on diabetes by gender. While a greater percentage of men had knowledge about the causes of diabetes, but women in general had bet-ter knowledge on the management and complications of diabetes.The correlation matrix of diabetes knowledge score, duration of diabetes and HbA1c is presented in Table 2. There was a weak negative relationship between diabetes knowledge score and HbA1c which was statistically sig-nificant (p < 0.001). The relationship between diabetes knowledge score and diabetes duration was also weak (p < 0.05). Almost half of the participants (45.6%) had a composite knowledge score of 100, while 17% of them had composite knowledge score of 33 or less (Table 3).
