Methods: This semi-experimental experimental study was performed on 90 older adults with diabetes by simple random sampling in two test and control groups. In the test group, 12 sessions of 30-40 minutes of training were performed based on the 5A self-management. The instrument of this study is the Patient Empowerment Questionnaire. Results: The independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the two groups of test and control before the intervention (P 0.93), but after the intervention, it showed a significant difference (P 0.03). The ANOVA test showed a significant difference after eliminating the pre-test effect (P 0.032 and Eta = 0.01) so that 10 of the post-test changes are due to the self-management. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it can be said that the implementation of the 5A self-management model is one of the most important appropriate approaches to reduce the costs of treatment and care for the elderly with diabetes and improve their empowerment
