Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a continuously increasing prevalence and can reduce patients' quality of life. Poor self-care management, including dietary regulation, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and medication adherence, remains a challenge in disease management. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-care management and quality of life among patients with Type 2 DM. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 47 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the self-care management questionnaire and the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaire and were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 27 respondents (57.4%) had good self-care management and 20 respondents (42.6%) had poor self-care management. A total of 19 respondents (40.4%) had good quality of life, while 28 respondents (59.6%) had poor quality of life. The bivariate analysis yielded a p-value of 0.001 with an OR of 15.300. The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between self-care management and quality of life among patients with Type 2 DM. Patients with good self-care management had a 15.300 fold greater likelihood of having a good quality of life than patients with poor self-care management. Community health centers are expected to improve education on self-care management to help enhance patients' quality of life.
