(1)In Introduction, there was a minor spelling error where the text reading “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has been carried out on patinets with T2DM to identfy factors related to glycemic control in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia” should be corrected to “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has been carried out on patients with T2DM to identify factors related to glycemic control in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia.”(2)The last sentence in the “Data Analysis” subsection in the Methods reading “A value of >0.05 was considered to be statistically significant” should be corrected to “A value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.”(3)In the first paragraph of the “Result” section, the sentence reading “Of the total respondents, 74% had poor glycemic control (HbA1c < 7%)” should be corrected to “Of the total respondents, 74% had poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 7%).”(4)In Table 1, the category “Duration of diabetes (year)” included reversed less and greater than signs. The corrected table is as shown below.(5)In Table 2, the less and greater than signs were reversed in many categories and the format of the category “Medication and treatment modalities” should be updated for clarity.
