Abstract:

This study examined the relationships between self-management, years of experience and diabetes management among Black Africans in Liverpool. The research adopted quantitative techniques, a well-structured questionnaire was employed to obtain information from the targeted population and Chi-square analytical technique was used for the purpose of validating the hypotheses. It was found that the relationship between diabetes self-management, treatment behaviour and experience of type 2 diabetes self-management was corroborated. Thestudy thus showed that factors contributing to self-management of type 2 diabetes positively affected experience of type 2 diabetes self-management among the Black Africans in Liverpool. It also revealed that the selected respondents have received diabetes self-management education from at least one healthcare professional, which points to the fact that the self-management is well appreciated and recognised, as an effective initiative for the management of diabetes among the Black Africans in Liverpool. It was concluded that the experience on the management of type 2 diabetes is a significant factor in the self-management of diabetes among black Africans in Liverpool.
