      2 diabetes mellitus: a single-subject study.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to determine if occupation-based activities improve 
      diabetes self-management and reduce depressive symptoms in an elderly 
      Mexican-American woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There have been no 
      known studies showing occupational therapy's role in self-care management of T2DM 
      in people with depressive symptoms. The individual in this single-subject 
      research was evaluated using glycosylated haemoglobin blood tests, four 
      self-reported standardized questionnaires, participant reflective logs and 
      clinical observations following an 8-week intervention. The participant improved 
      on all measures, which were sustained 1 month after treatment ended. Clinical 
      implications highlight a new role for occupational therapists providing early 
      intervention in people with diabetes and depression for secondary prevention of 
      complications of uncontrolled diabetes. Research suggestions include multiple 
      single-subject studies showing occupational therapy contributions.
