Popis:	India is facing a diabetes epidemic and it urgently needs to address the health literacy needs of diabetes patients to reduce the catastrophic impact of the disease. Since a valid and reliable tool for assessing diabetes literacy assessment was lacking, this study was carried out to conduct a psychometric analysis of the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Diabetes (SKILLD) Scale among Indian Type 2 diabetes patients. The study participants belonged mostly to the lower socioeconomic strata with low literacy. The results of the Kannada version of the SKILLD scale administered to 100 Type-2 diabetes patients visiting a tertiary care center in South India are presented here.
