Observational studies have shown positive associations between habit strength and target self-management behaviors such as taking medication and monitoring blood glucose, as well as glycemic outcomes such as HbA1c. However, intervention studies conducted in similar populations have not demonstrated a significant benefit of habit-forming interventions compared to controls, possibly due to varying techniques used to promote habit formation. Automaticity of self-management behaviors has the potential to minimize the burden associated with performance of self-management tasks and ultimately improve outcomes for people with diabetes.
