This study aimed to assess the relationship between FAMILY SUPPORT and blood sugar level control in such ELDERLY suffering type- 2 diabetes. Materials & Methods: Via descriptive- correlative study, one hundred fifty geriatric patients with type- 2 diabetes, who referred to Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Iran University of Medical Sciences were selected. Samplings based on nonrandomized and convenience. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: demographic data; glucose-labeled hemoglobin (HbA1C) and received - perceived FAMILY SUPPORT by applying the standard questionnaire of "Diabetes Social Support- Family Version" format. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 15 by using Chi-square and Pierson Tests. Results: Results showed a significant relationship between FAMILY SUPPORT and GLYCEMIC CONTROL (r=-0.56, p<0.0001). Also there were significant relationships between FAMILY SUPPORT, gender and marital status (p< 0.0001). There were also significant relationships between GLYCEMIC CONTROL and marital status (p=0.02), financial status (p=0.04) and educational level (p=0.05).
