Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most arduous chronic illnesses, both physically and psychologically. To live with a chronic incurable illness is to live in a state of constant uncertainty. Treatment motivation is an important factor in the success of diabetes management. The most important factor of treatment motivation in diabetic patients is resolving illness uncertainty. Diabetes educator teams must be oriented to focus on glycemic control. In addition, removal of negative thoughts about poor prognosis is the starting point for success. Through diabetic education, patients can reduce illness uncertainty, maintain therapy and adapt to the illness. By adopting a lifestyle appropriate for the disease, patients can improve their quality of life and add years to their life and life to their years.
