Nineteen out of 26 items were retained on the DNT and grouped into 4 factors, prescription reading and directions, proper dose coverage, nutrition, and insulin, with good internal consistency (\u03b1\u2009=\u2009.721). Average score\u2009=\u200973.2%. All 20 DKT items loaded on 3 factors accounting for 41.2% of the variance, causes and consequences of the high blood sugar level, prevention of the disease, and misconceptions about diabetes self-management, with good internal consistency (\u03b1\u2009=\u2009.799). Average score\u2009=\u200971.9%.
