Objective: The survey research aimed to study the preventive health behaviors and mental health of DM (type 2)  patients, to examine factors associated with the preventive health behaviors and mental health of DM (type 2)  patients and to examine factors associated with poor mental health of DM (type 2) patients. Methodology: Tools were the questionnaires on personal factors, the preventive health behaviors test developed by Numsri W.(2006) and the mental health test developed by the Department of Mental health. The reliability was 0.70 (KR-20) and 0.70 (Alpha coefficient), respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and Pearson’s correlation was used to examine factors associated with the preventive health behaviors and mental health and also Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the data with a variable selection in Forward Stepwise (Likelihood Ratio: LR).  ResultsOverall, 52.98% of the subjects had high level of protective health behaviors and 47.8% of them had normal level of mental health. The significantly factors related to preventive health behaviors of DM (type 2) patients Iumien Tribe (non-Thai) and glycemic control (p< 0.05). There was the preventive health behaviors patients related to a mental health level of DM (type 2) as positive direction (r = 0.366) (p<0.01).
