Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that requires consistent medical care to help control glycemic indices. Diabetes self-management is found to be essential for optimal glycemic control. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of diabetes self-management in adult with T2DM. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A purposive sample of 142 adults with T2DM attended an outpatient endocrine clinic in an academic hospital in Ilam, Iran was invited to participate in this study from September to October 2016. The data were collected using a combination of validated questionnaires and the blood sample. IBM SPSS software version 22 used to conduct the analysis. Hierarchical linear regression analysis with the stepwise method was used to explore the predictors of diabetes self-management.  Results: The mean age of participants was 54.2 ± (11.8) years. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.9 ± (7.4). Hierarchical linear regression analysis determined that self-management behaviors had positive relationship with efficacy expectation (B= 0.445, P-value< 0.01), quality of life (B= 0.222, P-value= 0.02), and has a negative relationship with HbA1c (B= -0.194, P-value= 0.01).  Conclusion: The result of our study indicate that better diabetes self-management behaviors can be predicted by higher efficacy expectation, the better quality of life and lower HbA1c levels. Future interventions should focus on enhancing efficacy expectation, quality of life and optimizing glycemic control to improve self-management of diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is chronic diseases with serious complications and reduces the quality of life of patients. Evidence based strategies to enhance diabetes self-management may prevent complications and enhance the quality of life for patients is needed. AIM: This study to summarize the types of intervention strategies used to enhance diabetes self-management behaviors in adult individuals type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHOD: This study was used Literature review randomized controlled trials study. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library data base were used. Jadad scale checklist was used to evaluate quality appraisal included in the study. RESULTS: Twenty-six randomized controlled trials studies were included in this review. Overall, quality of the studies was high-quality. Varied interventions included studies at different countries were found to enhance diabetes self-management behaviors in T2DM patients. In addition, almost type interventions were reported a significant enhancement diabetes self-management behaviors especially in adults with type 2 diabetes patients. CONCLUSION: Varied self-management behavior interventions in diabetes mellitus. This review suggested for investigate best intervention to enhance diabetes self-management behaviors in different cultural for best outcomes.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes affects 29.1 million people in the United States. Marriage has been suggested to have a protective effect on overall health outcomes, but few studies have evaluated the role of partnership status on patients with type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to assess this role of partnership status on diabetes control and self-management behaviors. Patients with type 2 diabetes taking at least one oral hypoglycemic agent were assessed over a 3-month period to measure hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) changes and adherence to medication, exercise, diet, and glucose monitoring. Partnered participants were more likely to adhere to their medications, but there was no significant difference in HbA1c changes over 3 months or exercise, diet, or glucose monitoring adherence. This study suggests that being partnered improves medication adherence; further analysis with a larger population is required to fully assess the role of partner support for patients with type 2 diabetes.
