(6) What personal constructs do type 2 diabetic patients apply in making sense of information for managing diabetes? This study which is a qualitative study was premise within the interpretive paradigm, with Bandura‟s Social Cognitive Theory as a theoretical framework for the study. The case study approach was used to investigate the phenomena. Eighteen (18) participants were purposively sampled for the research and semi structured interview was utilized for the interrogation. Inductive approach was employed in analyzing the data collected through semi structured interview of the participants, which yielded 360 open codes, from which 72 sub- categories and 49 categories emerged.

Prior knowledge before Endocrinology Clinic were about; mortality rate, dietary regulation, glycaemic control, wound management, weight management, herbal medicine and physical exercise. Information received is viewed as good, important, critical, helpful, necessity, unimportant; and confusing and conflicting. Personal constructs applied in making sense includes; trust of medical practitioners, trust of friends, believe, fear of complications, family support, prior knowledge, personal judgement, formal education, and confusion. The study concluded that understanding how information is understood is essential in coping with chronic diseases like T2DM. It recommended that understanding of information will assist in developing of programme and intervention to enhance management of chronic diseases.
