Though the level of T2DM self-management was high it does not translate to good glycemic control. Focused health education programs should be incorporated into patients' care plans which will be particularly relevant for patients with T2DM and will contribute to positive physiological and psychological outcomes. Furthermore, a more robust monitoring and follow-up scheme should be scaled up or instituted for patients with T2DM.
