The purposes of this research were to study health status and blood sugar level, and to examine relationships between body mass index, daily-living practice, health care access, social support, and health status and blood sugar level of diabetes patients. Participants were 110 diabetes patients including 60 patients form Rajavithi Hospital, and 50 patients form Ramathibodi Hospital. Data were collected by using Daily-living Practice, Health Care Access, Social Support and, Health Status Questionnaires. All Questionnaires were tested for content validity by 5 panel of experts, and tested for reliability with Alpha Cronbach coefficients of .65, .77, .91, and .81 respectively. Study data were analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's product moment correlation. Major findings were as follows:1. Health status of diabetes patients was at good level (X =126.19). 2. Blood sugar level of diabetes patients was higher than normal range (X=8.56). There were 79.1% of patients had higher blood sugar level than normal standard (HbA[subscript 1C]less or equal than 7) while only 20.9% of patients had normal standard of blood sugar level (HbA[subscript 1C]less or equal than 7). 3. Health care access, social support and diet control (a subscale of daily-living practice) had positively and significantly relationships to health status (r= .539, r= .480, and r= .201, p<.05). Body mass index and overall daily-living practice were not associated with health status of diabetes patients. 4. Taking oral glycemic drugs (a subscale of daily-living practice) had negatively and significantly relationship to blood sugar level (r= -.208, p<.05) whereas overall daily-living practice, body mass index, health care access, and social support were not associated with blood sugar level of diabetes patients.
