Abstract

Background: Self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in South Africa (SA) is sub-optimal, with exercise reported to be the least employed modality of self-management. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of T2DM patients regarding T2DM self-management, and to explore participants’ awareness and acceptance of the role of biokineticists in the management of T2DM.
