Effective management of diabetes mellitus is significantly influenced by diabetes self-management behaviors (Handley et al., 2010). However, with limited monetary resources, healthcare provider shortages, and inadequate healthy resources, these skills are particularly difficult for those living in rural areas (O'Brien & Denham, 2008; Schoenberg et al., 2011). In fact, patients often report that carrying out the daily diabetes self-management regimen is more difficult than dealing with their diagnosis of diabetes (Mishali et al., 2011). Facilitators influence diabetes self-management behaviors and assist individuals living with diabetes to set and attain realistic self-management goals. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify facilitators of diabetes self-management behaviors in rural individuals living with T2DM and to discuss implications for home healthcare clinicians.
