Associations Between Social Support and Diabetes-Related Distress in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a higher level of perceived social support experienced was associated with lower diabetes-related distress among patients with type 2 diabetes. Osteopathic physicians have a central role in providing comprehensive, patient-centered, holistic care, and the attention to social support in chronic disease management can help remove barriers in providing optimal care.
