β indicates Beta (i.e., standardized regression coefficient); s.e. indicates standard error. The model controlled for age, gender, education level, communication duration, presence of complications, health status, and HbA1C. Online DISB along with the moderator variables were entered in Step 1. The interaction effects between online DISB and each of the moderator variables were entered in Step 2
