TI  - Association of health literacy and diabetes self-management: a systematic review.

AB  - The purpose of this review is to summarise the existing evidence about the 
      association of health literacy (HL) with type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      self-management. The PubMed, Medline, CINHAL, Scopus and Web of Science databases 
      were searched for randomised control trials of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      self-management and HL published between 2009 and 2018. Fourteen randomised 
      control trials were included in this review. Our findings showed that HL was 
      instrumental in improving diabetes knowledge, physical activity, self-efficacy 
      and quality of life; however, its associations with glycaemic control, 
      self-monitoring of blood glucose, foot care and medication adherence was 
      inconclusive. Customized and community-based HL interventions were more efficient 
      compared to patient-focused HL interventions. This review concludes that HL is 
      key for T2DM self-management, but customised, structured and community-based 
      interventions are more likely to yield better outcomes.
