description Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major healthcare burden worldwide with 639 million people are estimated to be diagnosed in next two decades. Bangladesh, is likely to emerge as the 8th highest ranking country in terms of the number of people diagnosed with DM by 2045. Low self-efficacy and self-care behaviour among the adolescents could have been the underlying cause for poor glycaemic control. Hence, the main objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the self-care practices and diabetes management self-efficacy levels and to explore the facilitators of and barriers to self-care practices and self-management among adolescents with DM in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was first conducted among 240 adolescents with diabetes at two tertiary hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
