Understanding the Influence of Diabetes Management Practices on Co-Morbidity Development

Abstract

Diabetes type 2 is a chronic condition that currently has no cure. Hence, proper management is key as the best approach to ensure the wellness of sufferers. To establish the attitudes of self-care patients towards the management of this ailment, the authors designed a study that targeted 100 Australian residents in the first phase. These participants provided quantitative and qualitative information about various diabetes type 2 management practices that include exercising and diet management and the co-morbidities they currently suffer.
