The achievement of optimal glycemic control is influenced not only by medical factors but also by psychological aspects. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted at Imanuel Clinic, Manado. A total of 87 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected using purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were: patients aged 30 years and above, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for more than one year, and having undergone HbA1c testing within the past three months. Data were collected using a research instrument consisting of the Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) questionnaire, as adapted by previous researchers. Result: Spearman’s rho correlation test revealed a significant relationship between psychological well-being and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a strong negative correlation (r = –0.753) and a p-value of 0.038 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between psychological well-being and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, indicating that higher psychological well-being is associated with better glycemic outcomes.]]>
