Determinants of successful diabetes self-management behaviors among women of Arab descent with Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) continues to be an escalating public health problem that contributes to increased morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. T2D requires life-long self-management and daily decision making. If not treated and managed wisely, diabetes can cause serious health problems such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy [2]. Diabetes self-management (DSM) behaviors include healthy diet, physical exercise, blood glucose level monitoring, foot care, healthy coping, and medication taking [3].
