Introduction and Goals: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge of the disease, healthy lifestyle, quality of life and the relationship between type 2 diabetes individuals. Method and Requirements: The study was conducted with 101 individuals with type 2 diabetes who applied to the Bor Central Family Health Center in June-October 2016. In the relevant dates, all individuals applying to the center with one-on-one interview technique, the general characteristics of individuals, Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II, Quality of Life Short Form 36, and the disease-related level of information scale, the survey form was applied and the body weight and size length techniques were measured and the body mass index was calculated. 32.6 percent of individuals are weak and 60.5 percent obese. The average HbA1c in individuals is 8.0±2. 1 is determined. The average total cholesterol, HDL and body mass index in women were higher than in men (p<0.05). The average physical function, physical role difficulties, energy, pain levels of the SF-36 components are higher in men than in women (p<0.05). The greater adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors is associated with improved quality of life, while the increased level of information about disease is associated with healthy lifestyle behaviors and improved quality of life, such as health responsibility, nutrition, mental development and stress management (p<0.05). The result is that the quality of life of women with diabetes is lower than the quality of life of men. Healthy lifestyle behaviors in people with diabetes are related to the quality of life, and the disease can affect the level of knowledge, healthy lifestyle behaviors and the quality of life. Therefore, self-management, which also covers healthy lifestyle behaviors, is important to ensure metabolic control in diabetes and to improve quality of life. In addition to body mass index, metabolic control parameters such as abdominal obesity, body composition and HbA1c require studies with a broader multi-centric sample size that addresses the disease level of knowledge, healthy lifestyle behaviors and quality of life interaction in diabetic individuals. In addition, intervention studies in which the impact on the quality of life is assessed by training to improve the knowledge of the disease and self-management skills for individuals with type 2 diabetes may be useful.
