This research was designed as a randomized controlled study to develop a web-based training program and evaluate the program's impact on diabetes management. This research was carried out on 89 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of Akdeniz University. The preparation of the web page and its content has benefited from the latest literature, national and international websites, and expert opinions. Individuals in the survey scope have been stratified random method with as intervention group (n=44) and control group (n=45). Individuals who were taken in the initiative group were informed by web page, SMS, e-mail prepared for a period of three months. Personal information forms Metabolic Control Variable Form, Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Scale for Type 2 Diabetic Individuals, Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life Scale and Web Site Analysis and Measurement Inventory were used as the data tools. The informed consent was obtained from the patients and all data were collected by author during face-to-face interviews.
10,925 studies on the registry are indexed under Diabetes Mellitus; 1,319 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 89 is above the median of 80 across 8,367 interventional studies indexed under Diabetes Mellitus.

The Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire
The Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire was developed by Toobert and Glasgow to determine the self-care activities of individuals with diabetes. The Turkish validity and reliability of the questionnaire were conducted by Kav et al. (2010) and the total Cronbach alpha value was found 0.72. The tool contains 11 items, which measure the frequency of performing dia- betes self-care activities over the last seven days including diet, exercise, blood glucose testing, foot care and tobacco use. The scale total score ranges between 0-7. Higher scores indicate more self-care activities.

The Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was developed in 1999 by Van der Bijl et al. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Kara et al. (2006). The total Cronbach alpha value was found to be 0.88. The scale consists of 20 items in 5-point Likert type. Responses to the scale; "Yes, I'm sure" 5 points "No, I'm not sure" are evaluated as 1 point. The scale total score ranges between 20-100. High scores according to scale total scores indicate good self-efficacy.
Time frame: 5 minute
The Diabetes Quality of Life Scale
The Diabetes Quality of Life Scale was developed by Jacobson et al to evaluate the quality of life of individuals with diabetes (Jacobson, Groot, \& Samson, 1994). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Yıldırım et al (2007). The total Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.89. The scale total score ranges between 46-230. High scores according to scale total scores indicate good quality of life.

Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory
The Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory is a scale based on software evaluation for usability and international software standards. WAMMI is used for the evaluation of websites in many areas. The inventory includes the sub-dimensions of attractiveness, controllability, efficiency, helpfulness, learnability, global usability. The scale total score ranges between 0-100. The scores on the WAMMI are given as percentages, higher percentages indicate higher usability.
