Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease with an increasing prevalence worldwide and in our country. In managing type 2 diabetes, the primary goal in the nursing process is to ensure blood glucose stability. In this regard, it is essential to provide individualized nursing interventions and diabetes management education to individuals. The Comprehensive Self-Management of Diabetes Scale can be used to determine individuals' level of diabetes management. Implementing systematic nursing interventions to maintain blood glucose stability and evaluating their impact on nursing outcomes and diabetes management are crucial. Although the NANDA, NIC, and NOC (NNN) system is used for this purpose, research in this area remains limited. There is a need for studies investigating the effects of individualized nursing interventions based on the NNN system on nursing outcomes and comprehensive self-management of diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk of blood glucose variability. This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial with repeated measurements. The topic is original in terms of implementing individualized nursing interventions, providing education, and monitoring patients according to the NNN system to address the risk of blood glucose variability in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as evaluating its impact on nursing outcomes and comprehensive self-management of diabetes. Another unique aspect of the study is that the effects of the interventions will also be assessed through laboratory results, including fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), HbA1c, height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and pulse measurements. This research aims to improve glycemic control, prevent potential complications of the disease, ensure patient safety, enhance the quality and satisfaction of nursing care, reduce additional treatment costs, and decrease diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. If this study yields positive results, it will contribute to the widespread implementation of individualized nursing interventions using the NNN system to manage blood glucose variability risk, reduce diabetes-related health problems, ensure patient safety, and lower additional treatment costs. Furthermore, it is expected to guide clinical nurses, nurse researchers, and nurse managers in caring for individuals with type 2 diabetes, improve care quality and satisfaction, and support the planning of in-service training programs. From a healthcare institution perspective, it is anticipated to help reduce additional financial burdens and enhance care quality.
