Abstract:
According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes mellitus in 2030 will be 366 millions in the whole world, with diabetes mellitus type 2 having the highest prevalence. The current National Chronicity and Diabetes Strategies advocate patients' self-management programs and/or interventions. Nevertheless, lack of knowledge and inadequate attitudes hinder the associative relationship between patients and professionals that is required in these programs. This literature review aims to show the outstanding needs of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients when it comes to managing the illness. Thus, results from this literature review could lay the foundations for the development of effective future programs, helping professionals focus on patients' needs.
