The purpose of this study was determined the coping styles among diabetic Iranian patients.

Data collected by using demographic questionnaire, the Jalowiec Coping Scale, then MANCOVA and co-variance were used to analyze the data. Results: Difference between two groups in coping styles were significant (F=2.835, p=0.005). Significant differences was in supportant coping style (F=11.204, p=0.001). There was no significant difference in other coping styles between two groups. Conclusion: It seems that the diabetic patients likely differ from normal people only in supportant coping style when deal with daily stress.
