Patterns of Influence of Diabetics’ Integrating Healthcare Seeking Behaviors on Diabetes Management in Rongo Subcounty, Migori County, Ken

Abstract

Diabetes is a fast-growing socio-economic burden, highly prevalent in Kenya due to inadequacies of mitigation measures; though manageable through appropriate healthcare-seeking behaviors (HSBs). High malaria and HIV/AIDS prevalence in Migori County reveals high susceptibility; besides, Rongo Sub County recorded the highest increment in diabetes clinic attendance in 2019. Hence, the study sought to determine the patterns of influence of diabetics’ integrating HSBs on diabetes management.
