“Have to Fight the Demon”: Veteran Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Behavioral Self-Management and Diabetes Specific Risk-Taking Behaviors
Veterans described self-management behaviors that align with diabetes-specific risk-taking, suggesting that the DSRI framework has potential applicability to this population. Future work exploring diabetes-specific risk-taking behaviors will be critical to helping Veterans successfully manage their T2DM.
