Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disorder resulting from the deficiency of insulin in the body, disturbance of insulin action or both, resulting in high blood glucose levels causing long term complications.  Diabetes is well known to increase cardiovascular risk because of its association with obesity, sedentary life style, hypertension, hyper or dyslipidemia and a tendency to develop thrombosis. Diabetic patients can have poor quality of life and reduced life expectancy due to its long term macro-vascular and micro-vascular complications.  The aim of this article is to highlight the many barriers to patients’ engagement in their management of diabetes and the ways how they can be overcomed. The author during day to day practice came across many barriers while managing diabetic patients. Extensive searches were done on electronic databases like MEDLINE/PubMed and google scholar, with medical headings diabetes, type 2 diabetes and barriers to management.Diabetes mellitus
