Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is slowly turning into an international health emergency, evidenced by accelerated growth in prevalence rates worldwide. Experts have now called for greater integration of self-management interventions in clinical practice in light of these worrisome trends, supplanting the prevailing notion of a “glucocentric” approach. In this pilot study designed to complement a novel assessment program currently in development, we describe a concise screening tool designed to stratify the intention to follow through on self-management practices in people with T2D. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted at 3 regional primary care clinics. Individuals with T2D having the following characteristics were recruited into the study: (i) individuals with T2D between 18 and 65 years, (ii) fluent in English and, and iii) having been diagnosed with T2D for at least 2 years. We assessed the relevance of components in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) within the context of self-management behaviour in T2D. Participants were requested to complete a questionnaire containing questions related to intention, attitudes subjective norm and perceived behavioural control.

The correlation between intentions and all 3 constructs of TPB was excellent (p |
