One hundred male inmates type 2 diabetes in Jeddah Main Prison were randomly involved in this study. Seventy-nine percent of them were Asian and 21% were of African origins. At least a 4 months imprisonment was required for the diabetic inmate to fit in this study. Mean age was 46 ± 10 years. Mean random blood sugar (RBS) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level were high: 235 ± 105 mg/dL and 9.3 ± 2.6 %, respectively (target value of HbA1c is 7%). Sixty-nine percent of diabetic inmates did not follow diabetic diet, 76% were not involved in any physical activity while 26% did not follow any medication program. Also, mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.9 ± 5.2 kg/m2 (overweight). This study reveals that the diabetic management for diabetic inmates needs significant improvement, mainly because lack of compliance with diet, not taking regular medication and doing daily exercise or any form of physical activity. The previous studies conducted in the same field showed good metabolic control during imprisonment of diabetic inmates. In conclusion, this study recommends correction of diet, treatment, physical activity, supervised medication and regular clinical check-up should take place inside Jeddah Maine Prison to improve diabetic control of diabetic inmates and reduce diabetic complications.  Supervisor : Dr. Ahmed Nabil Abokhatwa  Thesis Type : Master Thesis  Publishing Year : 1430 AH 2009 AD  Co-Supervisor : Prof. Taha Abdullah Kumosani  Added Date : Saturday, December 4, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email فوزي عبدالله عريبي Oraibi, Fawzi Abdullah Researcher Master   Files File Name Type Description  28057.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
