Objectives: To describe how principles of self-regulation and social support could be integrated in a group intervention to improve self-management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the early phase of illness and to pilot its suitability in a primary care setting. Methods: Principles of the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation, Social Cognitive Theory of Self-Regulation and social support theories were integrated in the intervention. Based on this, a three-session group course was developed to challenge illness perceptions of participants that discourage adequate self-management, to practice goal-setting and behavioural actions and to create a supportive environment. The intervention was piloted with persons with early-stage (1–3 years post diagnosis) type 2 diabetes mellitus selected in general practice in the Netherlands. Data about the suitability of the intervention were retrieved by means of observation and audio-recording of the sessions, an evaluation form filled in by the participants and an evaluation meeting with the group leaders. Results: In total, 16 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients participated in the pilot, who were divided into a group of single participants (N = 8) and a group (N = 8) who participated with their partner. Discrepancies between perceptions of one’s own condition and type 2 diabetes mellitus in general were observed. Goal-setting and developing action plans appeared to be difficult tasks for many participants, whereas others felt these exercises were not useful as they did not feel a need to make changes in living with diabetes. The group-based format was appreciated as was the participation of partners. Conclusion: Challenging the illness perceptions of persons with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus by a brief interactive group course is feasible and important, as many of these people tend to underestimate the seriousness of their diabetes. However, motivating persons with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus to participate in self-management interventions remains a challenge. Offering the intervention as an integral part of type 2 diabetes mellitus management in primary care is desirable.

Background: Diabetes mellitus places a considerable burden on the individual and the family with respect to lifestyle changes. There is a paucity of systematic studies in India examining the efficacy of self-management programs for diabetes. The study examined the impact of a brief self-management intervention (SMI) on primary outcome of HbA1c and secondary outcomes of quality of life (QOL), self-care, perceived barriers to self-care (BSC), perceptions regarding illness and mood in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods and materials: Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly allocated to either a 4-session SMI or treatment as usual (TAU) and were assessed on HbA1c levels, QOL, self-care, BSC, illness perceptions, anxiety, and depression at baseline, postintervention , and at three-month postintervention follow-up. Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance indicated significant improvement in the SMI group from baseline to follow-up on HbA1c (P = 0.001), impact of diabetes on QOL (P = 0.006), self-care with respect to diet and exercise (Ps = 0.001), perceived barriers in adherence to diet, exercise, (P = 0.001), medication (P < 0.01), glucose testing (P = 0.04), general BSC (P = 0.001), total barriers (P = 0.001), illness perceptions-timeline or chronicity of illness (P = 0.002), personal control over illness, (P = 0.001), belief in effectiveness of treatment (P = 0.002), understanding of one’s illness (P = 0.001), and emotional representations regarding illness (P =0.001), depression, (P = 0.001), and anxiety (P = 0.001). In the SMI group, large effect sizes were obtained at the postintervention assessment and the three-month follow-up on most outcome measures. Conclusions: Brief psychological intervention is efficacious in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Background It has previously been established that patients who have strong barriers to their diet self-management are more likely to have weak social support; however, the key mechanisms underlying the association between these two variables have not yet been established. This study aims to examine the potential role that diet self-efficacy plays in the relationship between social support and diet behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods It was a cross-sectional survey. Three hundred-eighty patients diagnosed with T2DM were recruited for this study from five community health centers in China. The Chronic Disease Resource Scale (CIRS), Cardiac Diet Self-efficacy Scale (CDSE), and Food Control Behavior Scale (FCBS) were used to estimate participants’ utilization of social resources, diet self-efficacy, and diet self-management, respectively. The data were analyzed utilizing structural equation modelling. Results The results suggest that both higher levels of social support and diet self-efficacy are related to higher levels of diet self-management. The mediating effect that diet self-efficacy has on the relationship between social support and diet self-management was significant (β = .30, p < .05), explaining 55.68% of the total effect of social support on diet self-management. Conclusions Diet self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the association between social support and diet behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background: the context and purpose of the studyDiabetes mellitus is one of the four priority non-communicable diseases worldwide. It can lead to serious long-term complications and produces significant costs. Due to the chronicle character of the disease, it requires continuous medical treatment and good therapy adherence of those suffering. Therefore, diabetes self-management education (DSME) (and support DSMES) plays a significant role to increase patient’s self-management capacity and improve diabetes therapy. Research indicates that these outcomes might be difficult to maintain. Consequently, effective strategies to preserve the positive effects of DSMES are needed. Preliminary results show that peer support, which means support from a person who has experiential knowledge of a specific behaviour or stressor and similar characteristics as the target population, is associated with better outcomes in terms of HbA1c, cardiovascular disease risk factors or self-efficacy at lower cost compared to standard therapy. Peer-supported instant messaging services (IMS) approaches have significant potential for diabetes management because support can be provided easily and prompt, is inexpensive, and needs less effort to attend compared to standard therapy. The major objective of the study is to analyse the impact of a peer-supported IMS intervention in addition to a standard diabetes therapy on the glycaemic control of type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: how the study will be performedA total of 205 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be included and randomly assigned to intervention or control group. Both groups will receive standard therapy, but the intervention group will participate in the peer-supported IMS intervention, additionally. The duration of the intervention will last for seven months, followed by a follow-up of seven months. Biochemical, behavioural and psychosocial parameters will be measured before, in the middle, and after the intervention as well as after the follow-up.Discussion: a brief summary and potential implicationsDiabetes mellitus type 2 and other non-communicable diseases put healthcare systems worldwide to the test. Peer-supported IMS interventions in addition to standard therapy might be part of new and cost-effective approaches to support patients independent from time and place.Trial registration: If your article reports the results of a health care intervention on human participants, it must be registered in an appropriate registry and the registration number and date of registration should be in stated in this section. If it was not registered prospectively (before enrollment of the first participant), you should include the words 'retrospectively registered'.
