BACKGROUND: Family plays a role in managing risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM) in family members. The family can use diet and activity management as a form of prevention of risk factors and care for family members diagnosed with type 2 DM to keep it from getting to the level of severity.AIM: The study aims to analyze Social Support Management of Diabetes (SoSMeD) for glucose control of type 2 DM patients.METHODS: The study used a quasi-experiment pre-post-test with a control group design. The SoSMeD intervention was conducted for 3 months. The samples were taken by a random sampling technique of 50 respondents in each group. The measurement tool checks for glucose during the GDA-test 3 times, analyzed using a paired t-test.RESULTS: The results show significant differences between the intervention and control groups after being given SoSMeD in carrying out glucose control for patients with type 2 DM (p = 0.001).CONCLUSION: SoSMeD interventions provide type 2 DM sufferers with glucose control. Based on the findings, it is recommended that nurses should provide proper nursing interventions by involving families in diabetes management.
