In rural areas, access to health care may be limited, and support from family members becomes important. Aim The aim of this study was to describe perceptions and associations of diabetes empowerment, self‐management ability and needs of self‐management support among people with T2D in a northern rural community of Sweden. Method People with T2D (n = 159) living a rural municipality in northern Sweden answered the SWE ‐ DES ‐23 questionnaire and additional questions concerning self‐management and needs for self‐management support. Results A higher diabetes empowerment was associated with longer diabetes duration and support from healthcare professionals and relatives. Women rated a need for self‐management support significantly higher than men did. Nonretired persons rated a significantly higher need for self‐management support and a lower perception of support from healthcare professionals compared to retired persons. Cohabitant persons had a significantly higher perception of support from relatives and also estimated a higher need for relatives’ involvement in clinical visits compared to persons living alone. Both the newly diagnosed and also those people with a diabetes duration of 10–15 years rated a higher need for group support. Higher self‐awareness and readiness to change were apparent among people with short and long diabetes duration. Furthermore, self‐management ability, support from healthcare professionals and from relatives and lastly diabetes duration was associated with diabetes empowerment. Conclusion Not only people newly diagnosed with T2D should be offered patient‐centred group support, strengthening patient empowerment. For future, family‐focused care and education and training in person‐centred care among diabetes specialist nurses is recommended.
