A critical literature review will be undertaken to identify the attributes of self-management using 3 steps.
First, a literature review will be identified and understood themes relating to self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and the role of nurse to inform a topic guide by using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).
Second, the topic guide will be used to explain how to identify specific self-management strategies for T2DM patients.
Third, the topic guide will further be refined following self-management of T2DM patients and the role of the nurse in prophylaxis and management.
Research Question: Can Type 2 diabetes in adults can be reversed? If Yes, What guidance and support nurses and other healthcare professionals could provide to service users? If cannot be reversed, how nurses can support patients to maintain adequate control?
