Cognitive behavior therapy played a substantial role in developing patient insight and motivation, so, it is also recommended that other practitioners should carry out qualitative studies on the variables of this research in order to know the qualities and limitations of this strategy and give even more suitable strategies to deal with the problems faced with T2DM within the field of cognitive behavior therapy.
