What is A better model of diabetes self-management? Interactions between GP communication and patient self-efficacy in self-monitoring of blood glucose about?

## Objective: The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate the interaction between patient self-efficacy and gp communication in explaining diabetes self-management in a disadvantaged region of sydney, australia. ## Methods: This study was undertaken in south west sydney with the fairfield division of general practice. we used a cross-sectional survey design to assess patients' self-reported beliefs and behaviours about diabetes self-management. we used hierarchical multiple linear regression to test for interaction effects in diabetes self-management, following tests for clustering using multilevel modeling. ## Results: Of those eligible for survey, 105 patients completed the telephone survey (72%). there was a significant interaction between diabetes self-efficacy and gp communication in blood glucose testing; high-ratings of gp communication enhanced self-monitoring of blood glucose when patient self-efficacy was high but impeded self-monitoring of blood glucose when self-efficacy was low. there were no significant interaction effects for the general diet or exercise scales. ## Conclusion: This exploratory study suggests a complex relationship between patient self-effica
