Further, the respondents are generally aware on self-management activities for DM, however not all of them submitted for glucose monitoring program.

Conclusion: It is concluded that self- management behaviors are strongly associated with HbA1c. Nonpharmacologic and identified independent nursing actions proven to aid clients with diabetes mellitus should be advocated in combating the disease.
