Diabetes Self-care Activities |
The Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities (SDSCA) (Toobert, Hampson, & Glascow, 2000) includes multiple choice questions and items about self-care behaviors answered in days per week. The internal consistency of the instrument is adequate (a = .71). The scores ranged from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 105. Higher scores indicated better diabetes self-care. |

Diabetes Knowledge |
The Revised Diabetes Knowledge Test: Michigan Diabetes Research Center (Fitzgerald et al., 2016) is a 23-item multiple choice diabetes knowledge test. The scale has good reliability for both the general test (a = .77) and the insulin use subscale (a = .84). The twenty scored items were worth 5 points each for a maximum of 100 points total. Higher scores indicated higher knowledge levels. |

Diabetes Fatalism |
The Diabetes Fatalism Scale (Egede & Ellis, 2010) is a 12-item, 6-point Likert scale that measures the three constructs associated with diabetes fatalism: emotional distress, coping, and self-efficacy. The measure has excellent internal consistency (a = .83). The total score ranged from a minimum of 12 points and maximum of 72 points. Higher scores indicated greater diabetes fatalism. |

Perceived Diabetes Self-Management |
The Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS) (Wallston, Rothman, & Cherrington, 2007) is an 8-item, Likert scale-type tool with responses that range from "Strongly Disagree" (1) to "Strongly Agree" (5) for each of the 8 items. The tool measures self-care perceptions and has excellent internal consistency (a = .83). The total score ranged from a minimum of 8 points and maximum of 40. Higher scores indicate greater perceptions of diabetes self-management. |

Social Support |
The Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (Sherbourne & Stewart, 1991) is a instrument that has one fill-in-the-blank and 19 Likert scale, 5-point items that range from "None of the Time" (1) to "All of the Time" (5). The four social support subscales have excellent reliabilities (a = .91 - .97). The possibility of ranges were between 19 and 95, and higher scores indicated higher social support. |
