Characteristics associated with optimal blood sugar in individuals living with type 2 diabetes in hard-to-reach rural communities: results of a cross-sectional study in Esmeraldas, Ecuador_Dataset

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a pressing public health challenge in Latin America, with an increasing prevalence and negative impacts on population health. Achieving optimal blood glucose levels is critical for preventing complications, yet significant socioeconomic inequities persist in disease management and optimal glucose control.
