PROBLEM STATEMENT Klinik Kesihatan Kulim have a total of 1866 (the highest diabetic patient in Kulim) registered active Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients in 2022. (Data until February 2023).The key performance indicator for HbA1c level ≤ 6.5% is more than 30%. However, according to National Diabetes Registry Audit done in 2022, only 14.47% out of 191 audited patients achieved HbA1c level ≤ 6.5%. Poor HbA1c control is leading to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, diabetic retinopathy to blindness, kidney failure that need dialysis, diabetic neuropathy until amputation and may lead to death Possible causes such as poor knowledge among patient, long appointment date and health care knowledge. This study aims to improve HbA1c level ≤ 6.5% among patient type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Klinik Kesihatan Kulim .
LITERATURE REVIEW 1. A structured and coordinated effort is necessary at the basic primary care level in order to reduce the risk of diabetes complications. ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6305677/# ) 2. T2DM patients receiving treatment at the public health clinics in Kedah has been suboptimal . Only 15.6% of the patients had a HbA1C level <6.5%, while approximately 30% of them did not hAave their HbA1C levels tested over the 12-month study period.

QA STUDY
DEFINITION HbA1c level: The quality of care of patients with diabetes in MOH KKs is monitored using the HbA1c level as a proxy. The Quality Assurance (QA) indicator is measured as the proportion of T2DM patients with HbA1c ≤6.5% and is set at the optimum achievable standard, 30%. (National Diabetes Registry)
GENERAL OBJECTIVE To improve HbA1c level ≤ 6.5% among patient Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Klinik Kesihatan Kulim.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES To verify the magnitude of poor glycemic control among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Klinik Kesihatan Kulim. To identify factors that contribute to poor glycaemic control among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Klinik Kesihatan Kulim. To formulate remedial measures and plan to improve HbA1c level ≤ 6.5% among patient type 2 Diabetic Mellitus in Klinik Kesihatan Kulim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the remedial measures and plan.
