Abstract
Purpose: Examine social support’s association with seven individual chronic illness self-management behaviors: two healthy “lifestyle” behaviors (physical activity, diet) and five more highly skilled and diabetes-specific (medical) behaviors (checking feet, oral medication adherence, insulin adherence, self-monitored blood glucose, primary care appointment attendance).
