Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes is one of the most serious health concerns and policy agendas around the world.Epidemiological evidence suggests that it will likely continue to increase globally. Diabetes is strongly associated with the patients' unhealthy lifestyle and behavioral patterns and socio-economic changes.New model of thinking is required to recognize whether the patients are in control of and responsible for the daily SELF-MANAGEMENT of diabetes. Such a new approach should be based on 'EMPOWERMENT and involvement' to be more applicable to daily activities in diabetic patients.Rapid changes toward patient EMPOWERMENT and increasing involvement of patients in their care plan indicate more emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion and education than on mere disease and its treatment. Such changes make a step toward pervasive sense of responsibility among patients about their illness for their daily activities.Using the EMPOWERMENT approach, healthcare professionals would help patients make informed decisions in accordance with their particular circumstances. Patient EMPOWERMENT implies a patient centered, collaborative approach that helps patients determine and develop the inherent capacity to be responsible for their own life.EMPOWERMENT is something more than certain health behaviors. EMPOWERMENT is more than an intervention, technique or strategy. It is rather a vision that helps people change their behavior and make decisions about their health care. It has the potential to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals and communities, and to change the socio-environmental factors that cause poor health conditions. The main concept of this change is the tendency to change.
