Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a serious worldwide health issue that has put pressure on the global economy. The study examined the knowledge of complication prevention among patients living with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Ghana. The research was a quantitative study which involved the use of descriptive cross-sectional survey design. In all, 301 DM patients were included in the study. Data were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The study recorded 66.12% (n = 199) good knowledge level. Therefore, educational intervention programme should be organized by the health professionals at Twifo-Atti Morkwa hospital so every DM patient would have optimum knowledge about the disease that would ensure prevention of the DM complications.
