Abstract
Diabetes mellitus continues to be one of the most commonly diagnosed medical conditions in the United States. More than 25 million children and adults are living with type 1 or type 2 DM (ADA, 2012). Even though 18 million patients have been diagnosed with diabetes, an additional 7 million are unaware they have the disease. An important factor in health outcomes for diabetes is self-care that includes proper glucose levels control. Self-care for diabetes mellitus is important to decrease an individual's risk factors. Self-care consists of the practice of activities that maturing and mature persons initiate and perform, within time frames, on their own behalf in the interests of maintaining life, healthful functioning, continuing personal development, and well-being.
