“…This report also states that individuals with diabetes had higher self-care activities. The frequency of diet practice was 5.1 days per week, which is close to the averages of 5.2–6 days per week reported by Kim et al (2004) and 5–5.6 days per week reported by French et al (2008). The blood sugar test was the second most frequently reported self-care activity.…”

BackgroundPrevious studies have examined the role of individuals’ personal characteristics in diabetes management and used the locus of control theory to assess adherence to a diabetes management regimen. These studies have emphasized that having internal locus of control may be a protective factor in diabetes management.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to determine the predictor effect of locus of control on self-care activities and A1c level.MethodThe study is descriptive and relational. Researchers used a Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale and a Locus of Control Scale to collect data. The study sample consisted of 129 individuals with type 2 diabetes.ResultsThe average score of locus of control of individuals with diabetes was 10.26, and the frequency of self-care activities in the past week was 2.9 days. A weak but statistically significant negative relation was found between the locus of control level and self-care activities of individuals with diabetes, which had no effect on A1c. It was determined that locus of control predicts 19% of self-care activities.ConclusionAccording to the study results, having internal locus of control had positive effects on self-care activities. Training and planning activities to improve internal locus of control can improve diabetes management.

“…Evidence suggests that both illness perceptions and treatment beliefs drive patients' self-care behaviours, including medication adherence, and predicts glycaemic control [6]. Furthermore, intervention studies addressing patients' negative diabetes illness and treatment perceptions have demonstrated benefits in self-care behaviours and key health outcomes including glycaemic control [7][8][9].…”

“…The self-regulation model describes the perceptions common to people managing an illness and how those with an illness such as T2D make sense of, cope with, adjust to, and manage their condition. Illness and treatment perceptions are linked to self-management behaviors such as adherence to medicines,19,20 lifestyle modification, and self-monitoring 21. The self-regulation model includes emotional (fear, worry, and depression) and cognitive (timeline, severity, identity, cause, and cure/control) representation of illness.…”

Illness and treatment perceptions are vital for people self-managing co-morbid conditions with associated cardiovascular disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, perceptions of a co-morbid condition and the use of multiple medicines have yet to be researched. This study investigated the illness and treatment perceptions of people with co-morbid T2D. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (repeated for T2D, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) and the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire Specific Concerns Scales (repeated for Oral hypoglycemic agents, anti-hypertensive medicines, and statins) were sent to 480 people managing co-morbid T2D. Data on the number of medicines prescribed were collected from medical records. Significantly different perceptions were found across the illnesses. The strongest effect was for personal control; the greatest control reported for T2D. Illness perceptions of T2D differed significantly from perceptions about hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, illness perceptions of T2D also differed from perceptions of hypertension with the exception of perceptions of illness severity. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia shared similar perceptions about comprehensibility, concerns, personal control, and timeline. Significant differences were found for beliefs about treatment necessity, but no difference was found for treatment concerns. When the number of medicines was taken as a between-subjects factor, only intentional non-adherence, treatment necessity beliefs, and perceptions of illness timeline were accounted for. Co-morbid illness and treatment perceptions are complex, often vary between illnesses, and can be influenced by the number of medicines prescribed. Further research should investigate relationships between co-morbid illness and treatment perception structures and self-management practices.

Self‐monitoring of blood glucose changed non‐insulin‐treated Type 2 diabetes patients’ beliefs about diabetes and self‐monitoring in a randomized trial

Abstract: Despite changes in some beliefs about diabetes differing between groups there were no corresponding changes in self-reported health behaviours. This suggests that changes in illness beliefs resulting from SMBG do not cause changes in diabetes-related health behaviours.
