Itemζ: the number of entries for behavior subscale and each dimension.
Excellentτ: good performance of integrated treatment and prevention (ITP) behavior (score index ≥ 80%).
Moderateξ: the ITP behavior of diabetics was moderately good (40%≥ score index < 80%).
Poorϕ: the performance of ITP behavior in diabetic patients was poor (score index < 40%).
