Abstract	:	Most adults with T2DM face challenges in managing and keeping their blood glucose under control due to a lack of self-management skills. While T2DM can be managed with adequate maintenance of blood glucose control, inadequate management of the disease can result in severe, life-threatening complications. Evidence-based studies have supported the benefits of screening for early identification of lack of self-management. Timely identification facilitates the prospect of early intervention, adequate management, improved patient safety and quality of life, and prevention of complications. The purpose of this project was to increase the early identification of insufficient self-management skills among the adult population who have T2DM. The project was implemented in an outpatient family practice clinic that provides primary care to pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations with an emphasis on patients aged 18 to 64 years old who had T2DM. The provider was asked to use a DMSQ tool to screen patients with a Hgb AIC of 7.0 or higher. The provider also utilized an ADA self-management intervention guideline for patients who screened positive as having insufficient self-management skills. The results of the tracking tool and the evaluation survey showed that the DSMQ screening tool and the ADA self-management intervention guidelines were effective in early identification and management of patients with T2DM self-management skills difficulties.
