The range of the coefficient being 0.75 - 0.76 and the reliability of knowledge test on diabetes by KR-20 was 0.75. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, maximum, minimum and multiple regression analysis.
            The research finding showed that reinforcing factors including social support accounted for 48.20% of the variance in explaining the health behaviors among type 2 diabetes patients (R2 = 0.482).
