Abstract
Biopsychosocial Path Model Of Self-management And Quality Of Life In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Highlights
Type 2 diabetes as a metabolic disorder, is characterized by a regular rising in cellular resistance to the effects of insulin and, subsequently reducing the insulin production [1]
Some studies [1] suppose that HbA1c was crucial in type 1 diabetes because of importance of controlling daily blood glucose but not in type 2 diabetes [17;34]
In consistency of other studies [37,38], the results of this study revealed direct and indirect effects of social support on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL)
Summary
Type 2 diabetes as a metabolic disorder, is characterized by a regular rising in cellular resistance to the effects of insulin and, subsequently reducing the insulin production [1]. The chronic increase of blood glucose results in a broad range of macrovascular disease (such as strokes and myocardial infraction), microvascular disease (nephropathy and retinopathy), and neuropathy [2]. A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes usually happens in middle age; while an average age of diagnosis is around 45 years [1, 4]. Diabetes type 2 as an increasingly prevalent condition, have major impact on mortality, quality of life, and health care costs [5] and major challenges in economically developing and developed countries. The results of Lipid and Diabetes Study in Iran has indicated that each year, 4 % population of Tehran change from healthy mood to pre-diabetes mood, and 1% reach to diabetes [7]
