OA07.04. Self-care, use of CAM and satisfaction with health care in people with inadequately controlled Type 2 diabetes

Methods Patients with inadequately controlled T2D from Group Health Cooperative were invited to participate in a telephone survey. The survey queried interest in ANC, current CAM use, and current self-care. Self-care behavior, perceptions about blood sugar, and motivation for behavior change were assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities, Perceptions of Blood Sugar Control and the Readiness Index instruments, respectively. Survey responses were then compared between people who expressed great interest in using ANC services and those who expressed less interest.
