2. The health communication is the highest factor affecting to glycemic control Behavior (beta = .648, p< .01), followed by social support (beta = .572, p<.05) and health literacy (beta= .487, p< .05), respectively. The 3 Variables can statistically significantly predict glycemic control behavior at 60.20% (R2adj = .602 , p<.01.)
