Abstract

Evidence from global research has established the important role of glycaemic balance in controlling diabetes, preventing its complications and maintaining quality of life. Research has also identified that self-management, self-efficacy and depression are correlates of long-term glycaemic balance. This article describes a study exploring the inter-relationships between self-efficacy, self-management and depression, and their impact on long-term glycaemic control and symptoms of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia in a community-dwelling population of adult Israelis with type 2 diabetes. The study indicates that nurses and other diabetes professionals need to assess levels of self-efficacy, self-management and mood in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
