Diabetes is one of the most common diseases worldwide. Self-management has the potential to ensure adequate medication intake, reduce the risk of death associated with prediabetes. However, people with diabetes experience difficulties in Self-managing their disease, and failure to perform Self-management actions continues to be a problem that causes acute and chronic complications of diabetes.Methods and materials. In order to analyze the Self-management of people with diabetes, a quantitative study was conducted, a questionnaire survey. The updated Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire – Revised was used to assess Self-management. A total of 385 people with diabetes were included in the study. The MS Excel 2016 and SPSS 23.0 programs were used to process the obtained research results.Results. The overall Self-management of the disease in people with type I diabetes is assessed with higher scores compared to patients with type II diabetes (p<0.001). Higher Self-control was found in subjects with higher education and subjects whose glycosylated hemoglobin fluctuated within the normal range, but Self-control decreased with increasing disease duration.Conclusions. Self-control in patients with type I diabetes is significantly higher than in patients with type II diabetes.
