Abstract Diabetes Mellitus remains a major public health challenge worldwide. Health and wellness advocacy that promotes health-promoting behaviors is strongly encouraged. This study aimed to examine the factors that predict health outcomes among patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. This study utilized a predictive research design. The study included 128 patients aged 18 years and older who had been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes Mellitus for at least one year. Most respondents were 60 years old and above, female, vocational-education graduates, married, retired, and had been diagnosed with diabetes for more than 16 years. They reported a perceived good health status, weighed mostly below 50 kilograms, and had heights ranging from 1.54 to 1.69 meters (5’1” to 5’6”). In terms of treatment-related perceived barriers, 60 respondents agreed that managing multiple treatments was burdensome. Most respondents identified situational influences as a moderate problem. The level of adherence to health-promoting behaviors among the respondents was rated as good. Health outcomes, as measured by BMI, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c, were within normal ranges. Sex, weight, and height were identified as predictors of BMI outcomes, while weight predicted lipid profile outcomes. Civil status, weight, and dietary behaviors were predictors of HbA1c outcomes.
