Summary

Diabetes is a common condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Non-pharmacological intervention strategies focusing on factors to improve self-management skills are considered an important part of the treatment in individuals with diabetes. Because of the increasing incidence in diabetes with costs (both physical, psychological and financial) for both patients and society it is important to investigate interventions that successfully promote self-care behaviour in patient with diabetes. Further research is needed to develop interventions effective in maintaining long-term glycemic control.

The aim of this project is to study the long-term effect of a motivational intervention program with an individual approach based on cognitive-behavioural strategies in chronically ill patients with diabetes. The effect will be evaluated on both physiological and psychosocial parameters including patient's experienced self-care competence.

The study will also provide an overview of what kind of non-pharmacological interventions that have been applied in relation to the treatment of type 2 diabetes and assess the effect of the various non-pharmacological interventions in randomised controlled trials.
