All groups received medicine. All three groups were examined in three stages, before and after intervention and follow-up study by diabetes adjustment and diabetes perception questionnaire. Then, the collected data analyzed by descriptive statistics and mixed variance analysis (Intragroup, intergroup and interactive).

The results show that both ACT and DSMP methods are effective in improving disease adaptation (F = 5/515, P value <0.001) and disease perception (F = 0.665, P value <0.001).
