THE INFLUENCE OF PATIENT ACTIVATION ON EXERCISE, MEAL PLANNING KNOWLEDGE, AND POLYPHARMACY IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic illness associated with multiple medical complications. Successful self-management of type 2 diabetes requires active participation on the part of the patient that includes therapeutic lifestyle interventions in the form of meal planning and exercise. The purpose of this study was to understand and quantify relationships and differences between a measurement of patient activation, physical activity level, meal planning knowledge, and polypharmacy in patients with type 2 diabetes and a hemoglobin A1C (A1C) > 6.5 %. A total of 19 participants were evaluated for the study. Statistical analysis included one-way ANOVA and Pearsons Product Moment Correlation. No significant differences between the level of participant activation and level of physical activity, meal planning knowledge, or medications was found (p< 0.05). A significant negative correlation between number of medications and meal planning for diabetes knowledge test was found (r < 0.01). Additional research addressing specific characteristics of patient activation in the management of type 2 diabetes prior to participation in a self-management program is warranted.
