AB  - Technological interventions to support self-management can potentially help older 
      adults manage their health, live active lives, and maintain their independence. 
      The objective of this study was to assess individuals' experiences and 
      perceptions of using a tablet-based application for 30 days as a component of 
      routine diabetes self-management care in older adults with type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM) in the context of daily living. A qualitative research design 
      using semi-structured interviews was used. The participants found the 
      tablet-based application to be a beneficial and valuable component of their 
      routine self-management activities. Five themes emerged from the interviews, 
      namely self-dependence, awareness, positive impact on attitude and behavior, 
      support, and balance. Findings from the individual interviews indicate that 
      technological applications have a unique potential to support the foundations for 
      attitude and behavioral changes toward self-management behaviors and activities, 
      thus improving clinical outcomes.
