The COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc in diabetes management, too, like other spectrums of life. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was adopted to determine the effect of Social Support, Self-Care Behaviour and Self-Efficacy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) during this COVID-19 pandemic. Two hundred T2D patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were chosen using a convenient sampling procedure. The tool consists of four sections, including socio-demographic characteristics, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Scale and modified Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the obtained data. The mean and SD of diabetic management self-efficacy is 5.74 (1.95) and 4.37 (1.4), respectively, for patients with HbA1c < 6.5% and HbA1c ≥ 6.5%. The self-care activities of the patients who had good glycemic control were 4.31 (2.06) compared to 3.50 (1.73) who did not. The social support received by the patients was 6.13 (2.13) vs. 5.31 (1.67) among patients with glycemic control vs. no control. The results show that social support (<i>p</i> = 0.04), self-efficacy (<i>p</i> =0.01) and self-care activities (<i>p</i> = 0.001) were significantly related to the level of glycemic control of the T2D patients. A significant relationship was also identified between gender (<i>p</i> = 0.036), age (<i>p</i> = 0.001) and education status (<i>p</i> = 0.000) with HbA1c control of the participants. This study demonstrates a significant relationship between social support, self-care behaviours, self-efficacy and glycemic management in T2D patients. During this COVID-19 pandemic, interventions to enhance the self-care activities like exercise and social support to boost their self-efficacy; for better diabetes management, reducing diabetes complications or prolonging their onset are the need of the hour.Premalatha PaulsamyRizwan AshrafShadia Hamoud AlshahraniKalaiselvi PeriannanAbsar Ahmed QureshiKrishnaraju VenkatesanVani ManoharanNatarajan GovindasamyKousalya PrabaharTamilselvi ArumugamKumar VenkatesanKumarappan ChidambaramGeetha KandasamyRajalakshimi VasudevanKalpana KrishnarajuMDPI AGarticleMultidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)self-efficacyself-care activitiessocial supportSummary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) scaleHbA1c controlMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1607, p 1607 (2021)
