The present study investigated the relationship of the diabetes self-care
and diabetic distress in patients with type 2 diabetes. It was hypothesized
that there will be a negative relationship between diabetes self-care,
demographics and diabetes distress. Further, there will be gender
difference in self-care and diabetes distress. A sample of 100 was
collected using purposive sampling, including 38 men with the mean age
of 58.03 (SD= 7.99) and 62 women with the mean age of 55.38 (SD=
7.05). Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities and Diabetes Distress
Scale were used. Results showed a significant negative relationship of
diabetes care with general diet and regimen related distress, interpersonal
distress and total distress. Diabetes care with specific diet also had
significant negative relationship with treatment related distress. Gender
differences revealed that men with diabetes engage more in exercise for
diabetes care. Women reported high emotional burden and distress
associated with treatment. It is concluded that patients of diabetes type 2
who engage in diabetes care by diet intake experience less diabetic
distress, interpersonal distress and emotional burden. Findings have
implication in devising counseling program to teach diabetes’ care, and
ways to manage distress, thereby to improve treatment adherence and
health promoting behaviors.
