posttest was conducted to assess their self-efficacy after the intervention(self-management education) was given. The education program consisted of two in-person sessions, each lasting for 90 minutes. The first 60 minutes of each session was centered on knowledge of diabetes, including risk factors, causes, complications, monitoring of blood glucose, and medication adherence, and the last 30 minutes were focused on lifestyle changes such as healthy foods and physical exercise.
I liked the fact that this was my research area and the measurement tool used because I often come across it. The design used to assess the research question was in the right 

direction. However, some questions I had and asked the presenter was the sample size of 30 she had for this quantitative study. She explained that initially, 80 participants showed interest in the study, however, attrition rates were high after the first session because of several reasons. Once again, I was concerned about the time frame for the post-testing, the study reported that data was collected between January and March. It could be hypothesized that participants would have had good self-efficacy scores shortly after the intervention as compared to after a longer period.
